Dear Friends of CITRIS,
 As we launch into a new academic
year--our third in the beautiful Sutardja Dai Hall!--we are excited to report that CITRIS is firmly established and well revered throughout its four campuses.

We attract approximately 75 million dollars a year of fresh research funds to our campuses. Combined with the state's initial investments, that makes us a billion-dollar institute.
