I want to offer my deepest thanks to so many across UCLA for helping keep our campus and community safe during this immensely challenging period. I also want to share my gratitude to all of you — from students and parents who have displayed such flexibility and understanding, to faculty members who navigated a quick pivot to remote instruction, to staff members who continued their dedicated work during a harrowing time. In-person classes will meet as regularly scheduled beginning on Tuesday, Jan. 21 after the Martin Luther King Jr. Day holiday. Read my message.

New research shows abrupt wet-to-dry and dry-to-wet swings, which can worsen wildfires, flooding and other hazards, are growing more frequent and intense because of human-caused climate change. “We’re in a whiplash event now, wet to dry, in Southern California,” said Daniel Swain, a UCLA climate scientist who led the research. “The evidence shows that hydroclimate whiplash has already increased due to global warming, and further warming will bring about even larger increases.”

Worries about climate change should be seen as a learning opportunity that might even lead some kids to their life’s path, says Vickie Mays, professor of psychology and health policy at UCLA, who teaches a class on climate change and mental health — one of eight similar courses offered recently at UC campuses. “We should get out of this habit of ‘everything’s a mental health problem,’” Mays says, “and understand that often a challenge, a stress or a worry can be turned into advocacy, activism or a reach for new knowledge to change the situation.”

UCLA’s Hammer Museum, alongside its Mohn Art Collective partners LACMA and MOCA, has joined the J. Paul Getty Trust and a coalition of arts organizations and philanthropists to create the L.A. Arts Community Fire Relief Fund, which supports L.A. artists and arts workers directly impacted by the fires. The fund, announced Wednesday in the Los Angeles Times and New York Times, currently totals $12 million, with the intention to be dispersed quickly to those in need. You can show your support for the L.A. arts community by donating to the fund. |
