Dean's Associates

Alumni, parents, and friends who contribute annually with gifts of $2,500 or more provide the UCLA Luskin School of Public Affairs with much-needed resources that truly make a difference for our School.  The generosity of our Dean’s Associates creates a tangible impact on today's students—and promises an even better UCLA experience for future Bruins.
