UC Irvine, continued ...

Melanie and Gary Singer, 1974, co-chaired the event. A partner in O’Melveny & Myers LLP’s Newport Beach office, Gary Singer sits on several UCI advisory boards. His wife is a community volunteer and philanthropist and together they support many campus programs.

"With Melanie and Gary Singer's vision and tireless support, along with an amazing effort from our volunteer committee, this year's gala was a tremendous success," Mazzo said. "While honoring our extraordinary Medalists, we raised vital funding for student scholarships and fellowships, as well as academic programs, so that UCI can address the issues that matter to people in their daily lives."

Premier talent from UCI's performing arts students and alumni provided the evening's entertainment. Students from the Claire Trevor School of the Arts premiered a song, "Creation/ Be My Light" from "e-$cape," an original musical by Scott Guy and Nick DeGregorio.

Celebrated alumni, many who have gone on to careers on Broadway and in Hollywood, returned to make the fundraiser a success. Alumni included Jenn Colella, Max Haymer and Stephanie Powell.
