UCLA invites you to a gathering of family, friends, and our extended community. Together, we unite to honor the legacy of former UCLA Chancellor Charles E. Young. In celebrating his journey, we will pay tribute to his visionary leadership. Your presence will be a cherished tribute as we commemorate one of higher education's most admired leaders.
Even if you are unable to be with us, you may still sign the guestbook with any thoughts you would like to convey to Chancellor Young's family.
Charles E. Young, who led UCLA from 1968 through 1997, was the youngest chancellor appointed in the history of the University of California and the only UCLA alumnus to hold the campus's top position. His tenure, spanning four different decades, marked an enduring legacy. His transformative stewardship elevated UCLA from a modest regional institution into a global academic powerhouse. In his relentless pursuit of synergy between the campus and the vibrant city of Los Angeles, Young cultivated a lasting and dynamic partnership.
