As UCLA
students take final exams and graduate this week, we congratulate them on their
achievements, and our thoughts are also with the family, friends, colleagues,
and students of Prof. William Klug who lost his life on campus last week.
CBS will be
not host any events over the summer, but we encourage everyone in LA to visit
the Getty Center to view the Cave Temples of Dunhuang: Buddhist Art on China’s Silk Road,
open now through September 4. UCLA is very proud to have
helped to organize and sponsor a special symposium on the caves in May.
