The first time I felt the impact of UCLA’s diversity was during New Student Orientation.
When things were in person and we could freely get close to strangers, you could feel the social tension between the incoming students – a palpable manifestation of the evergreen desire to find friends clashing with the intimidation of a brand-new environment.

The pandemic has been a nightmare, but that doesn’t mean UCLA should leave behind the innovations it came with.

As UCLA looks forward, the continuing effects of COVID-19 are certainly a major concern.
