  Trailhead

  Trail and SM Bay

  Day Hike on the Los Liones Trail.  Join us for a uphill walk through blooming coastal vegetation with views of the Santa Monica Bay, inland to DTLA and more.  

  The trail head is at the road's end of Los Liones Road (and the back entrance to the Getty Villa).  There is free parking on several lots down the street from the trail head, but parking at the trail head is usually full early.  The trail is mostly uphill, considered an intermediate challenge for hikers, so recommend that those who wish to take this challenge be prepared. Bring water, sunscreen, a hat proper foot wear, and dress in layers.

  The hike is limited to 25 persons.  There is no cost for this program-no parking cost, no entry fee-What a deal!! The hike is about 3.5 miles roundtrip and about 2.5-3 hours in duration. Meet at the trail head-the gate into the Los Liones trail-at road's end at 9am. 

  FYI-the only available restrooms are near the parking area.

  Additionally, there is a nature trail outside the park if you still have the energy. Or you can proceed to the Parker Mesa overlook (more uphill ending in a great view but it will make the hike about 7 miles roundtrip.)

  More information about this hike will be transmitted to the registrants via email, so kindly make sure you have entered your correct email address.

  “On the Horizon” is a cross-town collaboration between UCLA and USC that brings together leaders in gerontology, psychological research, public health, engineering, and policy. The program highlights each institution’s strengths while identifying new interdisciplinary pathways to transform aging in Southern California and beyond. Our shared mission is to look over the horizon, anticipating the biological, social, technological, and environmental factors that will shape what healthy aging means over the next decade.

  UCLA/USC Series on Aging: Alzheimer’s and the Politics of Aging – Why It All Matters

  Gerontology experts from both schools will speak, with USC professors Mara Mather and Christian Pike reporting on cutting edge issues of Alzheimer's and UCLA professors Fernando Torres-Gil, Alan Castel and Dan Mitchell addressing current policy issues impacting aging, especially those affecting intergenerational tensions. USC’s Kelvin Davies, Emeritus Provost and Dean of Gerontology, will moderate.

  This speaker series is sponsored by the Retired Associations of both UCLA and USC.

  Why We Love Impressionist Paintings.

  Impressionist artworks continue to fascinate. The movement’s enduring appeal lies in its ability to transform everyday scenes into beautiful, emotionally resonant experiences.

  From urban glimpses documenting modern life in Paris to suburban and rural landscapes reflecting the ever-changing qualities of light, we’ll delve into paintings by Monet, Renoir, Pissarro, Degas, and Morisot.

  Come join us for an in-depth look at our continual love of some of the renowned painters of the 20th Century. Our guide is Ms. Clare Kunny of ArtMuseLA.

  Clare Kunny is an art historian and museum professional.  She has worked in the education departments at The Art Institute of Chicago and the J. Paul Getty Museum.  In 2012, Clare founded Art Muse LA, an independent art education company that now operates in Los Angeles, Chicago and Miami.
  

  
  

  There is a charge--$25 per household-to attend this program just to cover our costs with ArtMuseLA, to be paid by each registrant. This modest cost allows us to bring quality programs to our attendees. 

  ZOOM Info

  The ZOOM link for this program will be sent via email to those who register.  This is a per-household program and you can have as many persons join you for the event at the registrant's computer. Please do not send the ZOOM link to anyone else.

  After previously joining us for the “Slang at UCLA and Beyond” program, Professor Pamela Munro returns to host a new talk exploring her lifelong fascination with languages! 

  Please join us on Wednesday, April 1 as Pamela Munro presents: “Confessions of a Language Junkie.”

  Professor Munro, a Distinguished Research Professor of Linguistics at University of California, Los Angeles, has conducted fieldwork on more than 30 languages, primarily Indigenous languages of the Americas. Her research has taken her to communities in California, Arizona, Oklahoma, Oaxaca, and Belize, as well as to Los Angeles—home to one of the most linguistically diverse populations in the world.

  Over the course of her career, she has introduced generations of UCLA undergraduate and graduate students to the insights that come from working directly with native speakers. She has also been deeply involved in making language documentation accessible to broader communities beyond academia.

  Professor Munro has never met a language that didn’t have fascinating features, and she will share some of her favorites in this engaging lecture.

  Click here to see the Campus Parking Map. Parking is available in Parking Structure 5 (P5) or Parking Structure 3 (P3), which has hourly self-pay parking stations.

  I understand there may be photos & videos taken while participating or being close proximity to this event.

  Sir John Falstaff finds himself a bit short on cash, so he hatches a scheme: seduce two merry (and wealthy) wives of Windsor and live out his days in luxury. Too bad this bumbling knight happened to send both his targets the same love letter! Now Alice Ford and Meg Page are set on teaching Falstaff a lesson, and it's not long before a long list of his adversaries join in. Audiences are in for a whirlwind of disguises and deceptions, and maybe even an unexpected dip in the River Thames. 

  Longtime company favorite Craig Colclough stars as the boastful Falstaff, leading a brilliant ensemble cast that includes Nicole Heaston, Ernesto Petti and Hyona Kim among the pranksters all too happy to take the errant knight down a peg, with Deanna Breiwick and Anthony León as the young lovers desperate to steal a private moment to themselves among the madness. This classic comedy gets an equally classic staging by Lee Blakeley, with atmospheric sets and sumptuous period costumes designed by Adrian Linford.

  To the Artists Among Us - Art for Fire Survivor Project

  A year ago, devastating fires destroyed both the Palisades and Altadena communities.  Most residents lost everything and others whose home still stand had to throw out most furnishings, clothing, and other porous items, including pictures and artifacts which they have collected over the years. 

  The UCLA Emeriti Association, through its Arts and Crafts Exhibit Committee has extended its activities to establish the Art for Fire Survivor Project, for sharing artwork which you may wish to contribute to the fire survivors to brighten their environment, as they recover and heal from an experience which none of them expected. 

  If you would like to participate and contribute one or more pieces of your artwork to be given to fire survivors, please email jpermaul@saonet.ucla.edu.

  Please join us for a special in-person tour and lunch hosted by UCLA Housing!

  Home to a diverse community of more than 14,000 undergraduates, UCLA’s residential communities offer students convenient access to campus resources and countless opportunities for engagement. Research consistently shows that students who live on campus perform better academically, interact more frequently with faculty, and report greater satisfaction with their overall college experience compared to students who commute. 

  The experience will begin with a visit to the undergraduate residential community on “The Hill” located near the Carnesale Commons area. Guests will have the opportunity to step inside one of UCLA’s residence halls and see firsthand where students live, study, and build community.

  Please note that the residence halls are located on "The Hill," which requires moderate walking and some step climbing; therefore, we recommend wearing comfortable shoes. The residence hall tour will conclude at approximately 12:15 p.m., followed by lunch at Bruin Plate, located in the Carnesale Commons building within UCLA’s residential area. Lunch will be provided courtesy of UCLA Housing.

  Parking Information: The closest general parking is Lot SV and Lot 11. Parking Lot SV (Sunset Village) and Lot 11.
