To the UCLA Anderson community:

First, I’d like to thank the entire UCLA Anderson faculty for another outstanding year. The mission of this university is education, research and service, and the outstanding group of scholars that our faculty comprises consistently delivers on all three counts. This year, I’m so proud of the way the whole faculty stepped up to maintain UCLA Anderson's exceptional standards under the most difficult circumstances. On behalf of Dean Tony Bernardo, I express my gratitude to all of you.
