REP LIEU CONGRATULATES INCOMING UCLA CHANCELLOR

WASHINGTON - Today, Congressman Ted W. Lieu (D-Los Angeles County) issued the following statement congratulating Dr. Julio Frenk on his appointment as UCLA's new chancellor.

“I want to wish a warm welcome to UCLA’s incoming chancellor, Julio Frenk. Dr. Frenk is a renown global health expert who admirably led the University of Miami. He is the son of a German Jewish father who fled Nazi Germany, and will make history as UCLA’s first Latino Chancellor. He will bring meaningful perspective to his work at UCLA. I look forward to working with Dr. Frenk and have no doubt he will build on outgoing Chancellor Block’s incredible work in making UCLA the outstanding university it is today.

"Public universities play an invaluable role in keeping the United States at the forefront of innovation and education. It is my great pleasure to represent UCLA because I have the privilege of championing the impactful work and accomplishments of its students and faculty in Congress. I am pleased to get to work together to tackle the most pressing issues facing our community, country and the world. Go Bruins!”
