    The Dashew Center: UCLA Welcomes the World
    When one thinks of Los Angeles from an international perspective, images of majestic sunsets and sunrises, Hollywood movies and famous actors, year-long warm weather, and a vibrant mix of diverse cultures come to mind. While these visual icons define Los Angeles, many international students also recognize it as home of the UCLA brand—a beacon of opportunity. UCLA stands on the foundational pillars—that with hard work, and the drive to succeed, possibilities are endless.

An artist at heart, she was unsure that an administrative career in higher education could ever be a viable path for her. However, during her nearly two decades working at UCLA, Jenny found new creative outlets in research and assessment, student programming and organizational development. What began as just a day job supporting her moonlight career as a theater producer slowly became her calling.
