UCLA Arts Newsletter
June 2018
Exams are over. Final projects have been submitted, presented, and performed. We have celebrated the achievements of the 308 students who earned their degrees at our June 16 commencement ceremony. As we all turn our attention to the summer months, I would like to take a moment to reflect on everything that we've accomplished together this year.</span></p>
While we must constantly strive—as artists, teachers, students, administrators, alumni, and community members—to create what comes next, it’s also important that we take a moment to remember and recognize not only our successes, but the successes of our colleagues and collaborators. I find myself at the end of this year, my first as dean, dazzled by everything that has happened and by the impact we have had as a school.
What I offer here are broad markers and simple figures. Please think of these as an invitation and a starting point to appreciate the work you are proud to have been part of in this last year. The strength of our school—and ultimately our art, our creative lives—lives not in a single moment, or classroom, or particular form, or specific piece. It lives and breathes when our work breaks down walls and barriers and helps us connect with the world around us.
