Semel HCI Center
Making the healthy choice the easier choice
The Semel Healthy Campus Initiative Center (Semel HCI) envisions UCLA as the healthiest campus in the country. By identifying existing strengths across our campus and bringing individuals together around a common goal, Semel HCI has created an infrastructure to collaborate and rapidly translate research into practice. In doing so, we aim to cultivate a flourishing community in which all Bruins can thrive, and where health and equity are woven into the very fabric of the university.
