The Humanities Welcome, held at the beginning of each academic year, invites faculty, staff and students to come together to showcase the Humanities at UCLA.
The event introduces students to the benefits of Humanities coursework and degrees, with an introduction by Dean Alexandra Minna Stern, a Humanities faculty member offering an inside peek at their research, and a first-person account of what it’s like to study in the Humanities by a current undergraduate student.
It all takes place Wednesday, Sept. 25, 2024, from 2 to 4 p.m. at Schoenberg Music Building! (map)
Stop by for some free Humanities swag, and stay for a reception afterwards with free refreshments, representatives from Humanities-related clubs and plenty of opportunity to mingle with Humanities faculty, staff and students.
Space is limited! Students, staff and faculty are strongly encouraged to register using the form below.
