A big crowd of staff, faculty and friends gathered Jan. 29, 2018, in the Commons area at UCLA Luskin to celebrate the career of Dan Oyenoki upon his retirement after almost 21 years at UCLA. He spent most of his time in Public Policy before moving over to the Dean’s suite last year. Among those offering words of appreciation about Oyenoki and his countless contributions to the UCLA Luskin School of Public Affairs for the past 13 years were Dean Gary Segura, longtime professor and former Public Policy chair Mark A. Peterson, and Oyenoki’s most recent supervisor, Hien McKnight. Decorations for the gathering included numerous travel destinations where Oyenoki might spend time as a retiree, but he said his primary hope is to spend more time with family, especially his two grandchildren.
