Gratitude
To the Luskins: Although I cannot attend your celebration today, please do know that many students on and off campus thank you for your generosity. I am a student in social welfare finishing up my PhD this year, and I can attest to the fact that having access to fellowship and grant money makes a world of difference. It is exciting that research excellence and innovation will be more easily accomplished through your efforts. Thank you so, so much.

Moving Public Affairs Forward
At this time when public trust in governmental action is waning, our city, state and nation require the finest minds to solve public affairs issues. The Luskin gift will help propel UCLA to the very top by attracting the finest minds that our pressing issues demand in order to reestablish the public trust. I am proud to be a planner from SPA and look forward to further contributing as an alumna.

Thank you!
Thank you, Meyer and Renee Luskin for your generous gift. It is a great pleasure to witness alumni give back and improve the educational experience for students like me. I hope one day, via the educational experience I received, give back to society in a manner that approaches your service and generosity.

Thank you!
As a student who has had the fortune of benefiting from a financial award, I recognize how many lives this generous gift will touch. I hope that S.P.A. students will, in the future, carry this spirit of generosity and giving back with them. Thank you does not feel like enough, but thank you, again!

Innovation-
This was a unique gift that is going to inspire the visions of thousands. I would love to see Bill Gates invite the Luskin's to TED this year as guests of honor.

Thank You
I am pleased to hear about this generous donation in a time of deep economic turmoil and an attack on the very nature of public universities throughout California. As a alum, I am excited that this new funding will attract a diverse array of students and institutionalize a social justice approach across the three departments, for the betterment of society as a whole.

Speak more type less?
I think I thanked the "Meyers" in an email.. Maybe I need to slow down and retire from boxing! The Meyer and Renee Luskin School of public affairs has a great ring to it.

Thank You
What I find most amazing about this news is their decision to select SPA over the other UCLA departments and alma maters (i.e., Stanford). Thank you for recognizing us. I hope to return the gift by representing your name well.

With Gratitude to the Luskins!
As an alumni of the Luskin School of Public Affairs, I remember being overwhelmed with joy when walking onto campus for the first day of class as a new MSW student. Again I feel joy for the support the Luskin's have shown to a department at UCLA that strives for a better world. Thank You!
