| Welcome to the August edition of What’s Current, our monthly newsletter. As summer speeds to a close, a new academic year has already begun at UCLA Anderson, with the arrival of first-year students in the full-time, fully employed and executive MBA programs. A warm welcome to all our new and returning students, staff and faculty! We’re delighted you’re here. In this edition, we share a sampling of posts about summer internship experiences from Anderson students, as well as photos and videos from last month’s long-awaited commencement celebrations for the FEMBA and EMBA |
classes of 2020. We also explore a new course co-taught by two faculty members on the timely topic of ESG, and highlight other faculty whose research is featured in UCLA Anderson Review and Anderson’s How the World Works podcast. Be sure to check those out, along with stories about a distinguished Anderson alumnus, a serial entrepreneur and an inspirational donor.
