On Veterans Day, we honor those who serve and have served our country. Military service requires sacrifices: time with family and friends, goals and interests to be pursued later, and the physical and mental well-being often tested by the experience.
I’m proud that the UCLA Anderson community of students, alumni network, staff, faculty and donors includes so many veterans. Individually and collectively, they make a profound impact on Anderson, through their dedication and discipline, their teamwork and their bold approach to new ideas. Anderson’s veterans also embody our school’s values to share success, think fearlessly and drive change. I’m gratified that the Anderson experience has enabled so many veterans to pursue their education and transition successfully to civilian life and careers.
Please join me on this Veterans Day in honoring those who have served.
— Tony Bernardo,
Dean and John E. Anderson Chair in Management
Veterans attending UCLA Anderson constitute a vibrant group with shared military experiences and similar paths to business school. We represent all branches of the U.S. military as well as our brothers and sisters who served in their home countries. The camaraderie makes navigating the path to graduation very satisfying.
That camaraderie extends to the greater Anderson community, who appreciate our service and value the lessons and experiences we as veterans bring to the learning environment. This cuts both ways: We veterans learn lessons shared by classmates with rich and varied careers of their own. Teamwork and the concept of sharing success are core values of Anderson, making the school a perfect fit for those of us with military backgrounds. The success of the veterans in our alumni network is testament to how Anderson enables veterans to transition to civilian life.

President, Association of Veterans at Anderson


“Success is peace of mind that is a direct result of self-satisfaction in knowing you made the effort to become the best you are capable of becoming.”
— Coach John Wooden
“As a transitioning veteran, this quote helps remind me that hard work is done for self-satisfaction and rewarded by peace of mind. At the end of each day, I find comfort in knowing that if I dedicate 100 percent of myself to personal and professional growth, achievement is merely a side benefit.”
Captain Luke Goessman (EMBA ’18), U.S. Marine Corps
