Faculty and Staff Resources
As Faculty, you play an integral role in building the foundation for our scholars to contribute towards a better society. These resources will allow you to integrate our mission of critical discourse and social impact into your classrooms. By incorporating conversations about empathy into academics and research, we contribute to an overall UCLA experience that teaches students to value kindness in their everyday lives.
