Faculty Center Donations

As blog readers are likely to know, the Faculty Center has been undergoing renovations - which cost money.

From the Faculty Center Newsletter:

I am delighted to formally announce our two newest donations for the Faculty Club in support of the renovation fundraising campaign.

Julie Kwan, President, UCLA Faculty Center Association, Distinguished Librarian and Librarian Emerita, UCLA Library

Steve and Evelyn Cederbaum were first to respond after reading my message about our campaign in the May Faculty Club newsletter. They were quick to review our Funding Opportunities document and state their desire to support the Executive Board Room, which will be renamed as the Cederbaum Family Board Room.

Steve is Professor Emeritus in the Department of Psychiatry, Pediatrics and Human Genetics and is an authority in medical genetics. He has played numerous roles in the Emeriti Association (EA), serving as President and, more recently, as Program Chair. 

Evelyn is the Associate Director for Facilities and Space Planning in the UCLA Semel Institute and Resnick Hospital. She frequently volunteers as a Spanish translator and interpreter in the UCLA Health System. We owe a huge debt of gratitude to Steve and Evelyn for their commitment to the Faculty Club and many years of dedicated service to the university.

Bruce Miller and Jennifer Moran were next, making a gift commensurate with the naming opportunity for the Playa Café. However, they modestly decided to forego this honor, opting instead for recognition in the form of a plaque. Bruce and Jennifer have been long-time supporters of the Faculty Club. Bruce is Professor Emeritus in the accounting area of the Anderson School of Management. For many years, Bruce has served as the Emeriti Association’s representative to the Faculty Center Association Board of Governors, providing his invaluable expertise to the board’s Finance Committee.

Jennifer has had a distinguished career as an attorney specializing in the utilities industry. In addition to being habitués of the Playa Café, Bruce and Jennifer have been long-time attendees at Emeriti dinners at the Faculty Club. We look forward to seeing them in the Playa Café for many years to come enjoying their favorite campus spot for a relaxing cup of coffee.
