Each year, a distinguished group of leaders from the public, private and nonprofit sectors is invited to join the UCLA Luskin School of Public Affairs community as Luskin Senior Fellows. As mentors to graduate students in the school's departments of public policy, social welfare and urban planning, they serve as a bridge to the real-world challenges being faced by community, policy and political leaders at local, regional and national levels.
This year’s Luskin Senior Fellows are:
- Randy Barth, founder and CEO of THINK Together and the Executive Chairman of the Principal's Exchange
- Kafi Blumenfield, founding executive director of the Discovery Cube Los Angeles science museum and former executive director of Liberty Hill Foundation
- Danielle Brazell, general manager of the City of Los Angeles Department of Cultural Affairs
- Carol Chodroff, opportunity youth director for the Alliance for Children’s Rights
- Rima Cohen, managing director for Aspen Health Innovators Fellowship
- Melissa Martinez, U.S. diplomat-in-residence at UCLA
- Steve Nissen, senior vice president of legal and government affairs at NBC Universal
