UCLA "Glocal" Conversation: The University in an Interconnected World

Building upon last year’s theme - “Global Challenges, Local Responses”- and in alignment with the new UCLA Strategic Plan, this year’s program will focus on UCLA’s “Glocal” impact. The conversation will explore the ways in which UCLA research and programs connect global and local communities. The event will begin with remarks from Executive Vice Chancellor and Provost Darnell Hunt, followed by a moderated panel discussion featuring UCLA faculty and leaders who will examine the “Glocal” nature of their work. The program is part of UCLA's International Education Week (IEW) which celebrates international education and exchange with a variety of activities and programs from various campus departments and schools.
