What's Current June 2022

June 2022

 
Welcome to the June edition of What’s Current, our monthly newsletter. With the arrival of summer, we’re marking the end of another successful academic year, along with this month’s celebrations of Pride Month and Juneteenth. We’re sharing stories and videos from the recent MBA and Ph.D. commencement ceremony for the Class of 2022 and paying tribute to Senior Associate Dean Al Osborne as he steps down from a remarkable half-century of teaching, leadership and service at UCLA Anderson.
As always, we highlight stories and podcasts this month featuring a few of our dynamic faculty, alumni and students. And don’t miss the return next month of Palooza, our annual summer party, and the long-anticipated in-person commencement ceremonies for our Class of 2020 MBA students.
