Volume 11 2011-2012 REVIEWREVIEW Volume 11 2011-2012 Clayborne Carson’s 2012 Thurgood Marshall Lecture, Bunche Center Initiatives & more . 1 85842_UCLA.indd 1 9/27/12 11:10 PM MESSAGE FROM THE DIRECTOR The academic year 2011-12 marked forty-two years of university and community service for the Bunche Center. The year featured a provocative array of research and programmatic initiatives, includ- ing the Center’s Race and Hollywood Project - which aims to produce the definitive, on-going study of barriers to and best practices for diversifying the Hollywood entertainment industry. We also wel- comed home scholar, activist, and UCLA alumnus Clayborne Carson as our 23rd Thurgood Marshall lecturer and honoree. The year also featured ongoing efforts by the Center to increase African American access to higher education at both the undergraduate and graduate levels. Tapping into research initiated as part of the Center’s Ford Foundation-funded College Access Project for African Americans (2002-2008), Center scholars coordinated the writing of amicus legal briefs for court cases in the Sixth and Ninth Circuit Courts of Appeal that challenged the bans on affirmative action in Michigan (Proposal 2) and Califor- Darnell Hunt nia (Proposition 209). These briefs were signed by dozens of social scientists and admissions experts throughout the state of California. Meanwhile, our Mellon Foundation-funded Summer Humanities Institute (SHI), which has prepared students for the rigors of graduate school since 2001, enjoyed its first year of support (of three) from the UC Office of the President’s initiative focused on Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). It was an exciting year, and this year picks up where it left off. During 2012-13, the Center aims to produce a pilot study that kicks off the Race and Hollywood Project in earnest. It also plans to continue pursuing funding for the next phase of the College Access Project for African Americans, which will undoubtedly grapple with whatever decision emerges from the Fisher v. University of Texas affirmative action case currently being reviewed by the U.S. Su- preme Court. SHI will be revamped in order to initiate and nurture ties between UCLA researchers and their counterparts at HBCUs. And, of course, the outcome of the November 2012 elections will most definitely chart a course for the nation that Center scholars are uniquely situated to examine. I invite you to join us at Center events this year - Circle of Thought Brown Bag Lunch Series, Bunche Center Authors’ Series book signings, and the annual Thurgood Marshall Lecture, among others - as well as keep up with our research efforts on Hollywood diver- sity, college access, and related social justice issues.

  • Located in the Heart of Beverly Hills As the Cornerstone of the Golden
    Located in the heart of Beverly Hills as the cornerstone of the golden triangle, the Wallis Annenberg Center for the Performing Arts (The Wallis) officially opens its doors to the public on October 15-18, 2013 with a dedication ceremony and a series of Galas, followed by programming beginning November 8 with the Martha Graham Dance Company. This new venue transforms a Beverly Hills city block, facing Santa Monica Boulevard, between Crescent and Canon Drives, into the first performing arts center to be built there: a vibrant arts destination and a major cultural and education hub for audiences of every age, with two distinct, elegant buildings: the renovated historic 1934 Italianate-style Beverly Hills Post Office and the new, contemporary 500-seat, state-of-the-art Bram Goldsmith Theater. Together these two structures embrace the city’s history and future, creating a new artistic and visual landmark, and an entryway into Beverly Hills’ fabled shopping district. Within the treasured Post Office, existing spaces are transformed into the 150-seat Lovelace Studio Theater, a theater school for young people (opening in 2014), a café and gift shop. For its Inaugural Season, The Wallis will produce and present theater, music and dance, as well as programming for the family audience, with the participation of established stage artists Mark Brokaw, Leonard Foglia, Ricky Ian Gordon, Frederica von Stade, Maurice Hines, Marsha Norman, Jason Robert Brown, Emma Rice, Harry Gregson- Williams, and the Kneehigh Theater. The Wallis will enhance the live theatre experience through special exhibitions that will reveal another layer meaning to a show or presentation.

We’ve reviewed project information and visited the building and site. We’ve reviewed the preliminary structural study with its author, Nabih Youssef, our structural engineer, and been briefed on project implications for constructability, collateral damage, and architectural resolution. We’ve also refreshed our understanding of the later work of the prolific Los Angeles architect, A. Quincy Jones with whom I had the privilege of teaching at the USC School of Architecture before becoming a member of the faculty at UCLA. We sense the design challenges posed by this project in exterior composition and building identity, in orientation and patterns of use and movement both inside and out, and in materiality and construction as well as those of cost, accessibility and sustainability, But we also concur with Capital Programs’ perception that the building and site hold potential for significant improvements in functional performance and experiential quality for UNEX users and for the building’s prominence and interaction in the Westwood streetscape.. Over the last thirty years much of our firm’s design work has been for new educational facilities and digital information-based learning / working environments and we have responded to constantly changing operational and construction requirements in these kinds of projects.

Block The 2011–12 academic year was filled with outstanding accomplishments by UCLA’s students, fac ulty and staff. It also marked my fifth year as UCLA’s chancellor. During that half decade, which has coincided with one of the most challenging periods for public funding of higher education in our nation’s history, our campus has thrived. Today, UCLA is stronger than ever and enjoys unprecedented respect and acclaim around the world. Todd Ceney/UCLA Photography Todd Thanks to our planning of the past several years and an extraordinary collective effort that is not only campus-wide but also extends to parents, alumni and donors, UCLA is well positioned to continue our upward trajectory toward our centennial in 2019 and beyond — despite the State of California’s continued disinvestment in our great institution. Academic and Research Excellence. UCLA’s reputation, nationally and interna- tionally, continued to soar in 2011–12.
