Join the Conversation
Mondays, Oct. 5—Dec. 7, 7 PM PDT
This fall, the School of the Arts and Architecture returns with 10 Questions: Reckoning, the third installment of the annual event series that invites the public to join UCLA students in the virtual classroom to engage in vibrant conversation alongside leading faculty and distinguished alumni from across the university.
With COVID-19, the climate crisis, social and political turmoil unlike anything we have seen in a generation, and, of course, a presidential election on our minds, we will be asking our most urgent set of questions yet.
Join us every Monday at 7 p.m. PDT, from Oct. 5 through Dec. 7.
