Lozano Elected to American Academy of Arts and Sciences

The American Academy of Arts and Sciences has announced the election of 213 new members who include some of the world’s most accomplished scholars, scientists, writers and artists. Monica Lozano, Chair of the Board of U.S. Hispanic Media, and publisher and CEO of La Opinión, was among those elected in public affairs, business, and administration. Lozano recently donated to the CSRC the La Opinión files, which includes over 100 boxes of photographs dating back to the 1980s.

 

Founded in 1780, the American Academy of Arts and Sciences is one of the country’s oldest learned societies and independent policy research centers, convening leaders from the academic, business, and government sectors to respond to the challenges facing—and opportunities available to—the nation and the world. Members contribute to Academy publications and studies of science, engineering, and technology policy; global security and international affairs; the humanities, arts, and education; and American institutions and the public good.

 

The new class, which includes seven UCLA faculty members, will be inducted at a ceremony on October 8, 2016, in Cambridge, Massachusetts. More information, including the names of all newly elected members, can be found here.
