UCLA Undergrad Philanthropy Course

The LA Times today carries a story about a fall quarter undergraduate philanthropy course in which $100,000 was distributed to various local charitable groups by students who research such groups. The course was taught by Dean Judi Smith.  

Back in May, the Daily Bruin carried a story about the course which was then being announced.

The LA Times’ story about the outcome of the course is at http://www.latimes.com/news/local/la-me-ucla-philanthropy-20121224,0,5878820.story

 

UCLA put out two media releases about the course outcome earlier this month but apparently the LA Times reserved it as a holiday story.  See http://newsroom.ucla.edu/portal/ucla/a-class-above-ucla-students-distribute-241700.aspx and http://newsroom.ucla.edu/portal/ucla/learning-to-give-students-in-unique-241059.aspx
