| Welcome to the July edition of our monthly newsletter, What’s Current. This month, we’re sharing photos from the long-awaited, in-person commencement celebration for our full-time MBA Class of 2020, with photos of our FEMBA and EMBA classes of 2020 commencement celebrations to follow next month. We also highlight our 9th Palooza, which we were able to hold in person for the first time |
in three years. In this and every edition, we also share stories, podcasts and videos featuring UCLA Anderson faculty, staff, students and alumni, which this month includes a Q&A with our new alumni board president, Zubin Davar (’15) and his predecessor, Kate Pletcher (’07). And we’re now just days away from the arrival on campus of the first members of the Class of 2024.
