While UCSD can't brag of alum who invent vibrating toy broomsticks or make things barely political (and literally - there are barely any politics left there), we do have our very own notorious graduate: check out Conde Naste's follow-up on jailtime with Mark Swartz, the man who pocketed $50 million as CFO of Tyco. Showing the world that UCSD isn't full of pansies, one corporate thief at a time.

Apparently, Swartz also met his dearly beloved wife at UCSD freshmen orientation. Most only managed to play excruciating name games in Peterson Hall, but, hey, some just get more done in a lifetime than the rest of us.
