The Seal

Per ardua ad astra is a Latin phrase meaning “through hard work to the stars.”

Our entrepreneurial spirit is rooted in the belief that success demands perseverance, resilience, and dedication. The stars, symbolizing endless possibilities, require relentless effort to reach. Our motto reminds members that challenges in entrepreneurship lead to greatness when overcome. We adopted it to inspire members to surpass limits, remain committed, and achieve the most remarkable.

Core Principles

Entrepreneurial Innovation

We commit to nurturing a spirit of innovation, creativity, and entrepreneurship among our members. We believe that curiosity and ingenuity are the driving forces behind successful business ventures. We will provide opportunities for members to explore their entrepreneurial ideas, learn from failures, and celebrate successes. We aim to contribute to the growth of the San Diego entrepreneurial community by fostering collaborations, sharing resources, and promoting local startups.

Inclusive Excellence

We commit to fostering an environment where every member feels valued, included, and empowered. We believe that the diversity of our members enriches our club and enhances our collective learning and growth. We will strive to ensure that our activities, events, and decisions reflect the diverse backgrounds, perspectives, and experiences of our members and community.

Equitable Opportunity

We pledge to provide equal opportunities for all members to participate, lead, and grow within our club. We will actively work to eliminate barriers that may prevent the full participation of any individual. This includes but is not limited to obstacles related to race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, disability, socioeconomic status, or any other characteristic protected under UC San Diego’s non-discrimination policy.

Respectful Collaboration

We commit to fostering a culture of respect, open communication, and collaboration. We believe every member has unique insights and talents to contribute, and we will treat each other with kindness, dignity, and respect. We will actively seek and value diverse perspectives and work together to make decisions that benefit our club and the broader UC San Diego community.
