Thank you John.

Before beginning my presentation about UCLA’s academic initiatives, I would like to say a few words about my position.

Early in the 1990s, the UC Faculty Conference on Undergraduate Education recommended that campuses establish an administrative position, at the highest level, to advocate for undergraduate education, much in the same way that the Graduate Dean promotes graduate education.
