Annette Buhl UCLA Newsroom | Share Looking back on 2020, UCLA reached the highest of highs — astrophysicist Andrea Ghez became a Nobel laureate for her discovery of a supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way.

Meanwhile, professors carried on with their research, students kept doing the amazing and UCLA charted a bold new course for its athletic department while saying goodbye to one of the greatest of Bruin athletes. Add to the mix a presidential election and a reckoning with racial inequality this country hasn’t seen in in decades, and capturing everything in a single list becomes a difficult task.
