Hear to Include

Hear to Include

Hear to Include is a video series produced by a UCLA Anderson student startup, Unified Stories. The purpose is simple: to provide a forum to hear real student perspectives so we may have clearer understanding of who these students are and what they represent. Hearing is the first step toward inclusion.

In partnership with UCLA Anderson and both Anderson’s Black Business Students Association (@bbsa_uclaanderson) & OUT@Anderson (@outatanderson) clubs @unified_stories invites you to join in hearing powerful stories from of several of UCLA Anderson students.

 

In partnership with Black Business Student Association, we are excited to share these unique experiences and empower their voices.
