Celebrations for the 50th anniversary of the University of California, Irvine began in June 2014. Throughout the following year, several events were centered around the anniversary. One of the events was the UCI Spirit Rally, held on December 4, 2014 at the Bren Events Center. This collection contains 222 photographs of the UCI Spirit Rally. The event featured games, prizes, performances, and a commemorative aerial photo. It informed attendees of the 50 for 50 Volunteer Program. Speakers included Chancellor Howard Gillman and Vice Chancellor Thomas Parham. In addition, Founders Day was held on September 30, 2015. This event took place primarily in the Student Center. It honored founding staff, faculty, and alumni who were at UCI during the first five years of the campus's founding. The collection also includes publications, objects, flyers, ephemera, and speeches created for or during the 50th anniversary (June 2014-June 2016).
