Lifetime Achievement Honoree
Quincy Jones
We are deeply saddened by the passing of Quincy Jones, “Q”, on November 3. “Q” was a legendary musician, composer, producer and humanitarian. In 2019, the UCLA Semel HCI Center had the honor to meet “Q” and celebrate his many contributions to the betterment of global society, when he accepted the honorific Eudaimonia Award (which celebrates those who have shown extraordinary commitment to living a life full of purpose and meaning). The world is a better place for his 91 years with us, and we hope everyone will remember, as he instructed us: “YOLO/KOKO” (you only live once, keep on keeping on!). His legacy lives on with his music and the love he shared through his work. For more information about “Q” and the award, please visit https://newsroom.ucla.edu/stories/semel-healthy-campus-initiative-center-at-ucla-to-honor-quincy-jones.
