The new center will launch in the 2024–25 academic year and aims to position the UCLA Herb Alpert School of Music’s new music industry degree program as a national leader.

“I’m thrilled to create a center that helps students at UCLA prepare for careers in the music industry,” said Gordy. “These students will be the future innovators, artists and executives that will lead us through the 21st century. Students need a solid educational foundation that will build their skills while also expanding their minds.”
