Bruins: welcome – or welcome back – to UCLA and to Westwood.
Many of you are just beginning your engagement with our campus and college town, while others are returning after more than a year and a half away.

It is an exciting time to be in Westwood, and I believe our district is on the rise.
This past year, many new businesses opened, and more are coming.

In response to last week’s editorial, I’d like to say that Westwood Village Improvement Association Board members do turn over, but the organization has, in fact, enjoyed stable and consistent leadership.
