Dear UCLA Graduate:
It is with immense pride that I congratulate you on your graduation
from UCLA.
Today, you become part of a rich Bruin legacy, and I know you
will continue to embody the excellence and optimism that have
long defined this extraordinary institution.
Through your outstanding achievements and commitment to serving
the community, you have helped make UCLA the truly remarkable
university it is today. You have pursued wide-ranging and, in many
cases, world-changing passions while excelling in a demanding
academic environment, and I am grateful for your contributions to
our campus and the broader community.
Your UCLA education has prepared you to become an innovator in
your profession and a leader in your community, and I look forward to
the many accomplishments that lie ahead of you. I am confident that,
throughout your journey, you will continue to advance UCLA’s public
mission. I hope you also will remain engaged with your fellow alumni
and the faculty and students who are poised to lead UCLA into our
second century; help us ensure that future generations of Bruins have
the same opportunities you have enjoyed.
Again, my warmest congratulations. I am honored to join your family
and friends in celebrating this wonderful occasion, and I wish you every
success and much happiness in the years ahead.
Very best wishes,
Gene D. Block
