This half-day symposium at UCLA will examine the intersection of sound and hate, highlighting how auditory experiences can propagate, resist, and reflect social animosities. Bringing together diverse perspectives from sound studies and related fields, the event will deepen understanding of how sound influences, challenges, and shapes the dynamics of hate in society. The keynote address, “Sectarian Reckonings: The Politics of Voice and Song in Post-Authoritarian Syria,” will be delivered by Shayna M. Silverstein, Associate Professor in the Department of Performance Studies and faculty member of the Middle Eastern and North African Studies program at Northwestern University. Her talk explores public reckonings with sectarian violence in Syria from the 2010s conflict to the precarious present, offering guided listening to sonic practices—from chant and song to rock and livestream audio culture—that respond to sectarianized hate, violence, and animosity. Additional speakers include UCLA School of Music Associate Professor Jenny Johnson, UCLA Initiative to Study Hate (ISH) Research Manager Dr. Amalia Mora, and the symposium’s curator Dr. Kathryn Huether (ISH and Leve Center for Jewish Studies Postdoctoral Fellow-Antisemitism Studies).

What happens when a climbing gym is built by the community that will use it? Join OC Bruins to climb and connect with Sender One co-founder Alice Kao ’01 at their new Aliso Viejo location. Sender One’s newest Orange County gym represents something special. The Aliso Viejo location was community-funded by local supporters and climbers, many of whom became investors in the project. As Alice recently shared, the vision was simple but powerful: to create a space built for the community, by the community. OC Bruins is excited to bring Bruins together at this new space and welcome fellow alum Alice Kao ’01, Sender One’s CEO and co-founder. Alice will join us to connect with alumni and share a few remarks before we take to the walls together. Whether you’re a seasoned climber or trying it for the first time, this is a chance to challenge yourself, cheer on local Bruins, and experience a new Orange County climbing destination together. Moments like this capture what OC Bruins is all about: Bruins showing up for Bruins

Grab a coffee, lace up your walking shoes, and join the UCLA South Bay Network for one of our most popular traditions, the Pier to Pier Walk! We’ll stroll along the scenic Strand from the Hermosa Beach Pier to the Manhattan Beach Pier, then make our way back to Hermosa Beach. Along the way, connect with fellow Bruins, enjoy lively conversation, and soak in the iconic ocean views that make the South Bay so special. All are welcome—bring friends, family, strollers, and pets! Please plan on gathering in front of the Kelly Lifeguard Memorial Statue by Hermosa Beach Pier at 9:45 so we can start walking close to 10:00am. The walk is about 3 miles and typically takes roughly 2 hours (though it feels really fast!). After the walk, you’re welcome to join us for a casual brunch at a local spot (location TBD).

The Alumni Networking event is a collaboration between on-campus organization AMPD (Academic, Mentorship, and Professional Development) and the Muslim Alumni of UCLA to assist current students with networking with alumni and connecting regarding their careers.

Hollywood Architecture in the Golden Age (1920-1940) The Golden Age of Hollywood—when the major studios dominated filmmaking—also shaped a distinctive architectural landscape. Movie studios, theaters, and hotels adopted dramatic, glamorous styles meant to embody the excitement of cinema. The architecture blended fantasy and luxury, mirroring the movies themselves. Predictable weather, diverse scenery, Bohemian emigrees and new wealth fueled a growing city where film fantasy and gritty reality overlapped. The studio system, sound stages and set design flourished. Technicolor introduced vibrant color schemes and celluloid Modernism was projected into theatrical movie palaces. Rural backlots continued into the TV-era, while Disneyland, Universal Studios, and Homes of the Stars become world famous tourist attractions. Dr. Kane, a specialist in 19th and 20th century American architecture and urban planning, has taught Western and American art and architectural history and planning to both professional and general interest audiences for over 35 years. Institutions include the NewSchool of Architecture & Design, Design Institute of San Diego, San Diego State University, Cal Poly Pomona, UC San Diego, and UCLA Extension. Diane received her BA in Art History from UCLA, an MA in Art History from Cal, and her Ph.D. in Architectural History from UCSB. Retired since 2007, she has travelled the world, visiting all 50 states and over 110 countries. This has sparked an interest in non-Western architecture and cross-cultural transference and innovation through lectures at Osher Institute of Lifelong Learning.

UCLA AAPAN is hosting panelists to offer real-world perspectives by sharing their experiences with mentorship. It's meant to provide both students/alum with insights into finding and approaching mentors, what mentorship means as a professional, and understanding the difference between a mentor and a sponsor. We are hoping this event creates networking opportunities between students and alum that could foster long-term relationships or other career developments. In addition, we are planning to showcase how to leverage the UCLA ONE platform. We have a special guest who will walk our attendees through the app and how they can use it to address their professional needs. We hope everyone can walk out with practical and actionable strategies that can be applied immediately.
