Steering Committee
The Semel HCI Center Steering Committee provides intellectual and strategic guidance for the direction of Semel HCI Center through monthly meetings, at which members share pod achievements, present on emerging innovation around living well, and discuss strategic decisions and commitments. Members of the Steering Committee represent diverse campus constituencies, including senior administrators such as vice chancellors, deans, faculty, student leaders, and Semel HCI Center pod leaders. Additional key stakeholders have been invited to join the Steering Committee with the aim to increase campus representation. The Steering Committee members are committed to creating a culture of physical, social and emotional health and well-being for UCLA students, faculty and staff.
