Engaged, we embrace conversation, rather than flee, dominate, or shut it down.
Courageous, we address — rather than avoid — difficult topics.
Humble, we check on whether we are understanding and communicating well.

At UCLA Anderson, we know that our differences help us to discover other viewpoints and drive change around the globe. Supporting our identity clubs and committed allies throughout the Anderson community, our activities foster appreciation for Anderson’s various communities and the values, histories and traditions of each one. These activities are vital in creating understanding and a sense of connection — valuable resources with which to collectively conquer the everyday stresses of a top business school.
