As UCSD’s second college, John Muir College has been committed to its students since 1967. The Muir College vision and core values draw inspiration from the life and writings of its namesake – John Muir, a remarkable nineteenth-century environmentalist, nature writer, and founder of the Sierra Club. The college motto, “Celebrating the Independent Spirit,” is also drawn from the life of John Muir and expresses our commitment to all our students to provide an environment that fosters varied, successful, committed, and self-directed lives.
