The UC Irvine Libraries have received a $3 million gift to establish an endowment that will support the highest priorities of the university librarian. The gift, which will remain anonymous at the request of the donors, will help the Libraries meet the evolving needs of students, faculty, and other library users in the digital age.
The year 2025 marks the 50th anniversary of the Fall of Saigon and the end of the Vietnam War. To commemorate the sacrifices of those who fought during the war on behalf of both the United States and South Vietnam, as well as the narratives of hundreds of thousands of Vietnamese refugees who fled the war’s aftermath, a special, limited-run exhibit, Remembering Saigon: Journeys through and from Guam, will be on display in the UC Irvine Libraries Orange County & Southeast Asian Archive (OC&SEAA) Center from January through May 2025.
