Celebrating a New Era of Boldness
We formally welcomed Julio Frenk as UCLA’s seventh chancellor. The inauguration ceremony was livestreamed on Thursday, June 5, 2025, from 10 a.m. to noon.
I have committed my life to public service in roles that bridge academia, social policy and public health practice across different countries and sectors. I look forward to fulfilling this commitment in new ways at UCLA and in the vibrant, diverse city of Los Angeles.

By any measure, UCLA is a remarkable engine of positive change in California and across the globe. But in a time of transformation within our broader society, within Los Angeles and within our university, how can we deepen UCLA’s impact — and do so in a way that is more inclusive of the diverse communities we serve? That is the question at the heart of UCLA’s 2023-28 Strategic Plan.
