At this time of elevated uncertainty and change, it is all the more imperative that we remember to pause and reflect on our Cultural North Star as we navigate new and complex territories, both personally and professionally. In every one of our decisions, conversations and interactions, we have an opportunity to do what’s right, make things better and be kind – and to honor our commitment as members of the DGSOM and UCLA community to foster an inclusive environment that celebrates and respects the unique backgrounds, contributions and opinions of each individual.
The Cultural North Star unites us in our shared mission; sets clear and high expectations for our actions and interactions; and helps facilitate problem-solving, decision-making and collaboration.
