Celebrating the enduring legacy of a well-loved alumnus, members of the University community marked the official opening of the new location of the Syracuse University Dick Clark Los Angeles Program in North Hollywood, California on Saturday, March 2.
Along with family members of the late Dick Clark ’51, students, faculty, staff, leadership, alumni and friends gathered to dedicate the University’s new home in LA, the result of a gift from the Kari and Dick Clark Foundation to significantly expand the University’s presence and impact in the entertainment field.
The expansion of the SULA Semester, a vibrant example of the University’s commitment to Study Away, includes new space for offices, classrooms, studios, additional academic programs, faculty and internships. It is home to LA programs for the Newhouse School of Public Communications and the College of Visual and Performing Arts.
During the March 2 dedication of the new building of the Syracuse University Dick Clark Los Angeles Program, Vice Chancellor, Provost and Chief Academic Officer Gretchen Ritter, left, speaks about the Clark legacy at the University and the importance of such vital programs as the LA program to provide students with an immersive Study Away experience. She is joined by Anna Proulx, College of Visual and Performing Arts program director, Syracuse University Los Angeles Semester, second from left, and Cindy Clark ’86 and RAC Clark, daughter and son of Dick Clark ’51, respectively.
