Terry Morello Named Executive Director, External Affairs, for the School of the Arts and Architecture at UCLA

Terry Morello has been named executive director for external affairs for the School of the Arts and Architecture at UCLA (UCLArts) effective Sept. 1, 2005. Her responsibilities include development, communications and alumni relations for the school.

Morello has worked in the arts for more than 20 years, most recently at UCLA Live, where she had been director of development since 2001. Prior to that, she was director of external affairs at the Hammer Museum, where she helped increase the national visibility of the museum. Before joining UCLA, she headed development for the Santa Monica Museum of Art.

She had a distinguished career in New York City before arriving in Los Angeles in 1995. She served as special projects director at Exit Art, a multidisciplinary cultural and exhibition space; and she was account manager for the Art Against AIDS campaign for the American Foundation for AIDS Research at Livet Reichard Co. She began her career as a photographic printer for artist Andy Warhol. She holds a B.F.A. in film and television from the Tisch School of the Arts at New York University.

Providing a full range of course offerings and degree programs, the School of the Arts and Architecture comprises six degree-granting units — Architecture and Urban Design, Art, Design | Media Arts, Ethnomusicology, Music, and World Arts and Cultures; three centers — the Center for Intercultural Performance, the Experiential Technologies Center and the Grunwald Center for the Graphic Arts; two museums — the Fowler Museum of Cultural History and the Hammer Museum; and a major performing arts program, UCLA Live.

Artists, architects, dancers, designers, musicians and scholars come to UCLArts to draw on its unique curriculum, which interweaves work in performance, studio and research studies, providing them with a solid creative, artistic and intellectual foundation as well as a liberal arts education from one of the country’s finest research universities. UCLArts students gain a global view of the arts while integrating contemporary practice and theory in their chosen discipline.
