Chancellor Quote Block

Chancellor Gene Block stands in front of a blurry background composed of red brick and green trees.

Serving as UCLA’s chancellor since 2007 has been the greatest honor of my life. And so it is with bittersweet feelings that I would like to share my decision to step down from the role at the end of the 2023-24 academic year. UCLA is a shining example of the best of public higher education, and I have every confidence that the university is well positioned for an exceptionally bright future.”
— Gene Block, UCLA Chancellor Read the message from Chancellor Block to the Bruin community.
