@ Many professionals with ADHD feel like they’re not living up to their potential at work, but aren’t always sure why. Challenges with focus, follow-through, communication and managing competing demands can impact performance, even when ability is not the issue.  This session offers a practical approach to understanding and navigating ADHD in the workplace. Participants will learn how these patterns show up day to day, how they affect productivity and collaboration, and what to do about them. It will delve into strategies for managing focus and follow-through, as well as identifying or adapting to work environments that better support how you function.  Rather than relying on generic productivity advice, this workshop will examine tools that reflect how ADHD operates in professional settings. Participants will leave with the ability to recognize how ADHD impacts their work and strategies to work with it more effectively. Whether you are formally diagnosed with ADHD, pursuing an ADHD diagnosis, supporting a loved one or colleague with ADHD, or are simply interested in learning more about this topic, this session is open to everyone. ### [UCLA Alumni Affairs](https://alumni.ucla.edu/organizer/ucla-alumni-affairs/) [View Organizer Website](https://alumni.ucla.edu/) Add to calendar * Google Calendar * iCalendar * Outlook 365 * Outlook Live

@ Step into a storybook morning with OC Bruins at South Coast Botanic Garden, where Thomas Dambo’s larger-than-life trolls turn a garden stroll into a playful field study. Join fellow UCLA alumni on Sunday, Sept. 20, for a self-guided group visit to Thomas Dambo’s TROLLS: A Field Study, featuring 12 whimsical sculptures crafted from reclaimed wood and tucked throughout the Garden’s 87 acres. We’ll meet at 10:15 a.m. before our 10:30 a.m. ticketed entry time, which has a firm start. Please plan to arrive on time so the group can gather and enter together. We’ll add a Bruin twist with a photo scavenger hunt: explore the grounds, find the trolls, and capture your most creative poses for a lighthearted photo challenge. Learn more about the exhibit on the Garden’s website: https://southcoastbotanicgarden.org/thomas-dambos-trolls-a-field-study/ This is a relaxed, social way to spend time outdoors, discover one of the South Bay’s standout garden experiences, and connect with Bruins through art, nature, and a little creativity. Space is limited to 15 adult attendees. Registration is $18 and includes general admission to South Coast Botanic Garden, including access to the TROLLS exhibit. Please note: Registration fees are non-refundable, as event costs are planned. The Trolls experience may include more remote and rugged areas of the Garden, with uneven terrain, narrow paths and slopes. Guests should be comfortable walking and standing for the duration of the visit. Please be respectful of Garden paths, plantings, fellow visitors, and exhibit guidelines while enjoying the scavenger hunt. By attending, you acknowledge that photos may be taken and used in future OC Bruins or UCLA Alumni communications. We hope you’ll join us for a morning of art, nature, Bruin connection, and memorable troll photos. Registration includes general admission to South Coast Botanic Garden and access to the TROLLS exhibit. ### [Orange County Network](https://alumni.ucla.edu/organizer/orange-county-network/) [View Organizer Website](https://alumni.ucla.edu/network/orange-county-network/) Add to calendar * Google Calendar * iCalendar * Outlook 365 * Outlook Live

Under his leadership, the company became a model of sustainability.  He currently serves at the Treasurer for The California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy. Beyond business, Mr. Luskin is celebrated for his philanthropy at UCLA. In 2011, he and his wife Renee donated $100 million to establish the Meyer and Renee Luskin School of Public Affairs, of which he serves as a Director, and the Luskin Conference Center. They have also supported initiatives in history, public policy and urban innovation. He was formerly chairman of the board of the Santa Monica – UCLA Medical Center and Orthopedic Hospital, Chairman of the Board of the Orthopedic Institute for Children (previously known as the Los Angeles Orthopedic Hospital, which is now the Luskin Orthopedic Institute for Children), a Director of the UCLA Foundation, and a Director of the Alliance for College-Ready Public Schools.

That growth earned him the Franchise Times MVP Award for Mega Growth Leadership. Throughout his career, Doug has built, acquired, operated, and invested in businesses ranging from emerging ventures to established global restaurant brands – Papa John’s, Carl’s Jr./Hardee’s, Spaghetti Warehouse, Stir Crazy, and Flat Top Grill. He recently launched his own brand, Warehouse 72 Modern Restaurant & Bar and his latest venture is a new partnership with NFL star Maxx Crosby of the Las Vegas Raiders as well as investing in independent films.   Doug also brings deep experience in corporate finance, capital formation, joint ventures, and lower-middle-market mergers and acquisitions. He has directly led transactions ranging from $10 million to $100 million in value. Earlier in his career, he co-founded a technology company backed by angel investment and research and development funding from the National Research Council of Canada. A 1996 graduate of UCLA with a degree in Business and Economics, Doug has remained deeply connected to the university. He currently serves on two UCLA advisory boards and is a member of the UCLA Second Century Council. In 2022, he delivered the commencement address for the UCLA Department of Economics ([www.youtube.com/watch?v=8MG1uv4\_juw](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8MG1uv4_juw)). That commitment to education and giving back is also reflected in the Pak Family Endowed Speaker Series at UCLA, scheduled to launch in 2027, as well as his broader support of educational institutions, charities, and nonprofit organizations. Before expanding his service at UCLA, Doug served on the Pepperdine University board for seven years. Doug is also a founding member of a Vistage CEO Advisory Chapter in Orange County and has served on the boards of several private companies and nonprofit organizations.

@ Join Asian Pacific Alumni of UCLA for a fun night of WNBA basketball as we cheer on both the Los Angeles Sparks and the Golden State Valkyries! Earlier this year, many of us were in San Francisco to support the Valkyries (Coach Natalie Nakase ‘03 and Monique Billings ‘18). Now, we’re gathering in Los Angeles to reunite with fellow Bruins and celebrate another exciting matchup, this time rooting for both our hometown team and our Bay Area team. We’ll be sitting together in Section 107, offering an excellent view of the court, and we’ve secured a special group rate exclusively for our alumni community. Looking to make the night even more memorable? You can also add an exclusive Halftime Fan Tunnel Experience, where you’ll welcome either the Sparks or the Valkyries back onto the court during halftime. Space is limited, so be sure to reserve early if you’re interested! Why Join Us? * Cheer alongside fellow Bruins at a WNBA rivalry matchup * Enjoy discounted group seating in Section 107 * Add an unforgettable Halftime Fan Tunnel experience * Celebrate Fan Appreciation Night, with all fans receiving a 2026 Los Angeles Sparks team photo * Reconnect with the APA UCLA community while enjoying an exciting evening of basketball Whether you’re rooting for the Sparks, the Valkyries, or simply looking forward to a great night with fellow Bruins, we’d love to have you join us. ### [Asian Pacific Alumni of UCLA](https://alumni.ucla.edu/organizer/asian-pacific-alumni-of-ucla/) [View Organizer Website](https://alumni.ucla.edu/network/asian-pacific-alumni-of-ucla/) Add to calendar * Google Calendar * iCalendar * Outlook 365 * Outlook Live

Under his leadership, the company became a model of sustainability.  He currently serves at the Treasurer for The California Institute for Immunology and Immunotherapy. Beyond business, Mr. Luskin is celebrated for his philanthropy at UCLA. In 2011, he and his wife Renee donated $100 million to establish the Meyer and Renee Luskin School of Public Affairs, of which he serves as a Director, and the Luskin Conference Center. They have also supported initiatives in history, public policy and urban innovation. He was formerly chairman of the board of the Santa Monica – UCLA Medical Center and Orthopedic Hospital, Chairman of the Board of the Orthopedic Institute for Children (previously known as the Los Angeles Orthopedic Hospital, which is now the Luskin Orthopedic Institute for Children), a Director of the UCLA Foundation, and a Director of the Alliance for College-Ready Public Schools.

Founded in 2005 with no outside capital, BLD Ventures began as a food and beverage startup and grew under Doug’s leadership from zero to more than $200 million in annual revenue and over 5,000 employees within eight years. That growth earned him the Franchise Times MVP Award for Mega Growth Leadership. Throughout his career, Doug has built, acquired, operated, and invested in businesses ranging from emerging ventures to established global restaurant brands – Papa John’s, Carl’s Jr./Hardee’s, Spaghetti Warehouse, Stir Crazy, and Flat Top Grill. He recently launched his own brand, Warehouse 72 Modern Restaurant & Bar and his latest venture is a new partnership with NFL star Maxx Crosby of the Las Vegas Raiders as well as investing in independent films.   Doug also brings deep experience in corporate finance, capital formation, joint ventures, and lower-middle-market mergers and acquisitions. He has directly led transactions ranging from $10 million to $100 million in value. Earlier in his career, he co-founded a technology company backed by angel investment and research and development funding from the National Research Council of Canada. A 1996 graduate of UCLA with a degree in Business and Economics, Doug has remained deeply connected to the university. He currently serves on two UCLA advisory boards and is a member of the UCLA Second Century Council. In 2022, he delivered the commencement address for the UCLA Department of Economics ([www.youtube.com/watch?v=8MG1uv4\_juw](http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8MG1uv4_juw)). That commitment to education and giving back is also reflected in the Pak Family Endowed Speaker Series at UCLA, scheduled to launch in 2027, as well as his broader support of educational institutions, charities, and nonprofit organizations. Before expanding his service at UCLA, Doug served on the Pepperdine University board for seven years. Doug is also a founding member of a Vistage CEO Advisory Chapter in Orange County and has served on the boards of several private companies and nonprofit organizations. Doug lives in Newport Beach, California, with his wife and two children. Outside of business and philanthropy, he enjoys golf, travel, professional football, and journaling. ### sponsorship opportunities available We hope you will consider supporting our event, our alumni networks, and our student scholars! ### you can donate directly to our scholarship funds here [Asian Pacific Alumni Scholarship Fund](https://giving.ucla.edu/campaign/Donate.aspx?SiteNum=1&AutoFN=Y&Fund=90939E&Amount=100) [Kyra Goldfarb Scholarship Fund | Bruin Professionals](https://www.bruinprofessionals.com/kyra-goldfarb-scholarship-fund) ### [Asian Pacific Alumni of UCLA](https://alumni.ucla.edu/organizer/asian-pacific-alumni-of-ucla/) [View Organizer Website](https://alumni.ucla.edu/network/asian-pacific-alumni-of-ucla/) ### [Bruin Professionals Network](https://alumni.ucla.edu/organizer/bruin-professionals-network/) [View Organizer Website](https://alumni.ucla.edu/network/bruin-professionals-network/) Add to calendar * Google Calendar * iCalendar * Outlook 365 * Outlook Live
