Revelle College 60th Anniversary, 2024-2025
Sixty years ago, UC San Diego's undergraduate program began with a small but ambitious vision. A core curriculum in the humanities, social sciences, biological sciences, physical sciences, and mathematics was established. The first undergraduate library, located in Building E (now Galbraith Hall), provided essential resources for students. As we celebrate this milestone, we honor the past while looking toward a future filled with innovation, discovery, and positive impact.
To create a new world, we must first create within ourselves a higher concern for good, a stronger will for right action, and a deeper sense of brotherhood

60th Anniversary, 60th Watermelon Drop: Spring 2025
In 1965, a Revelle College faculty member and his physics students held the first Watermelon Drop to measure the velocity of a dropped object (by its splat). As a prelude to the 60th anniversary celebration, Revelle alumni were invited back to campus to participate in the tradition. Revelle Plaza was filled with “drop-goers” who enjoyed the occasion, and the watermelon!
