LETTERFROM THEPRESIDENT

Congratulations, UCLA Class of 2021!

It is my honor to join your family, friends, and the entire University of California community in

celebrating you and your wonderful accomplishment. Amid historically challenging circumstances

across the globe, you have worked hard, persisted and persevered, in pursuit of your UC education.

I hope you will always take great pride in what you have achieved at the University of California, and

in being a part of the UC family for life. This great university will always be a part of you, and UC will

always be indelibly better for your time here as students.

UCLA alumnus and American hero Jackie Robinson once put it this way: “A life is not important

except in the impact it has on other lives.” You leave UCLA with the knowledge, skills, and confidence

you need to go out into the world and create your future – and to change our planet for the greater

good of all.

Your graduation is a milestone reflecting your resilience, your strength, and limitless hope for the

future. The world faces unprecedented challenges. You are the leaders who will help heal what is

wounded and right what is wrong. As you embark on this journey, know that you are ready. We are

behind you, cheering you on, and wishing for ease, joy, and fulfillment in the path ahead of you.

Go forth, Bruins, and make the world a better, brighter place. Fiat lux – let there be light!

LETTERFROM THECHANCELLOR

Congratulations, Class of 2021!

Graduation is the culmination of many years of determination, diligence and hard work. I hope

you are proud of all that you have accomplished, and that your time at UCLA has broadened your

horizons, deepened your relationships, strengthened your skills and helped you grow as people.

I also encourage you to take time to honor those who helped you on your journey and have been

rooting for you from the start — your family, friends, mentors and peers.

You are entering an era that needs your creativity, brilliance and passion. This pandemic has taught

us important lessons about vulnerability and inequality, but also about service, empathy and

community. As we recover from the pandemic, you are well-equipped to contribute to the creation

of a more prepared, more resilient and more just society.

At UCLA we affirm values of compassion and inclusion, careful research and thoughtful analysis,

innovation and collaboration. Those are the very virtues that will serve you as you make your way

through this challenging moment and beyond.

This UCLA community you have been a part of, the community you helped create, and the broader

alumni community you are now joining will be with you always. May they give you strength and

inspiration.

Congratulations once again. We can’t wait to see where you’ll go from here.

Fiat lux.

LETTER FROM THE DEAN

Dear Class of 2021,

Congratulations on your incredible UCLA TFT journey!

This has been an extraordinary year through which you have demonstrated creativity, flexibility

and resilience. You and your peers are quite remarkable. You got it done. You are a UCLA graduate.

Though your current time at UCLA may be coming to a close, I hope that you will stay connected to

each other and to us as Alumni. You will always be a Bruin! You have walked the halls of Macgowan

and Melnitz, you have rehearsed your scenes by the benches, you have backed a truck up to the

equipment loading zone, you have navigated your way through Melvyl and you’ve eaten Grapes

with Egg at the once thriving Stage Canteen.

But it turns out that was just a beginning; the first act of your screenplay. Many adventures lie

ahead. Go out into this challenging world and be bold, do good, live with empathy and embrace

kindness.

We have always been and will continue to be incredibly proud of you and your accomplishments —

past, present and future. What’s next? Everything. Go Bruins!

Warmly,

I n t e r i m D e a nB R I A N K I T E
