Centennial Campaign for UCLA

The Children’s Discovery and Innovation Institute at Mattel Children’s Hospital UCLA celebrated its 3rd annual Kaleidoscope Ball at 3LABS in Culver City on May 2.

The Great Minds Gala, held at the Beverly Wilshire Four Seasons Hotel on April 19, raised more than $1 million for research at UCLA’s Semel Institute for Neuroscience and Human Behavior.

The strength and conditioning facility inside the football team’s new training complex will be named in honor of the former Bruin quarterback and Pro Football Hall of Famer.

UCLA professors Donald and Sherie Morrison provided the gift to establish the Morrison Family Center for Marketing Studies and Data Analytics.

The endowed chair commemorates Luskin’s longstanding relationship with his friend and attorney, Robert Henigson.

The center, to be led by Michael Fanselow, will focus on brain health and developing novel methods to get the unhealthy brain back to the healthy state.

The donor says he hopes the gift, which will benefit students, faculty and the community, will honor his family’s legacy of giving — one that started with his late grandmother.

UCLA's new on-campus basketball training and performance facility that will house the Bruins' storied men's and women's basketball programs will be named the Mo Ostin Basketball Center, it was announced today by Director of Athletics Dan Guerrero.

Funding from the Hirshberg Foundation has elevated the UCLA center to one of the nation’s premier comprehensive programs for pancreatic cancer and diseases.

Jim and Carol Collins, who met while they were UCLA students in the 1940s, will have part of the training facility named in their honor.

The facility's recruiting lounge and terrace will be named in honor of Marilyn Silva-Lund and David Lund.

The gift will support students, professors and researchers working with the rare primary-source materials in UCLA Library Special Collections.

A gift by television creator and executive producer Darren Star has made possible the renovation of a 54-seat screening room at the UCLA School of Theater, Film and Television.

The gift will provide scholarship support to students in UCLA Teacher Education Program and help recruit the best and brightest students to pursue advanced degrees in education.

Padmanabhan’s support of the lab, which will be housed in the still-under-construction Engineering VI building, will further cement UCLA as a premiere research institution.

If 2,200 Bruins donated to any of UCLA’s funds prior to the UCLA-USC football game Nov. 22, alumni Karren Ganstwig and Howard Welinsky pledged to give an additional $100,000 to UCLA.

As a tribute to the couple, the UCLA Center for Health Sciences Plaza was renamed the Irma and Norman Switzer Plaza.

The center is the first of its kind, dedicated solely to advancing the power of entertainment and performing arts to inspire social change.

The institute will provide new knowledge and technology to assess and manage risks in order to save lives, protect the environment and protect property from large-scale threats.

The gift by Bob and Marion Wilson is the largest scholarship donation the dental school has ever received and will be used to support students dedicated to academic excellence and public service.

A $2.5 million gift from Tadashi Yanai will help transform UCLA’s Department of Asian Languages and Cultures into one of the world’s leading centers for the study of Japanese literature and culture.

The Foundation also announced new board members Chris Adams, Susan Baumgarten, Jeffrey Brown and Russell Hagey and new terms for returning members Yolanda Gorman and chair emeritus Peter Taylor.

The generous gift establishes an undergraduate scholarship, graduate fellowship and distinguished lecture in Israel studies.

Jacqueline and Oscar Stafsudd Jr. earned four UCLA degrees between them, and Oscar has been a faculty member for 47 years. The couple say their gift is "a way of expressing our gratitude."

Chair will support an engineering professor who is an accomplished researcher, teacher and mentor to future engineering leaders.
