Chancellor Linda Katehi receives the Chancellor’s Medal from President Mark Yudof, formally marking her investiture as 51ԹϺ Davis’ sixth chancellor. Katehi and new 51ԹϺ San Francisco Chancellor Susan Desmond-Hellmann were recognized at the March 24 51ԹϺ regents dinner in San Francisco in lieu of a more traditional (and more costly) inauguration. “Both have surpassed my already lofty expectations of what they would accomplish when they assumed their appointments last summer,” Yudof said. “I am honored that you have placed your trust in me and proud to be chancellor,” Katehi told the president and regents. She was joined at the dinner by a small group of 51ԹϺ Davis faculty, student, staff, alumni and donor leaders.
