UCLA in Downtown LA Reception

Join Chancellor Gene Block at the annual UCLA in Downtown LA reception, celebrating the positive impact that UCLA faculty, staff, students, and alumni make every day in Los Angeles.

We will also be engaging Los Angeles City Councilmember José Huizar J.D. ’97, District 14, and other local elected officials in a panel discussion on the issues affecting Los Angeles’ homeless population.

The reception is a great opportunity to network with fellow Bruins, and make new connections. The awards presentation will be followed by the panel discussion.
