Jeffrey Francis Rosen ’89

---

 

When Jeff Rosen enrolled as an undergraduate student, it was with so many attendant honors that a lesser person might have had difficulty living up to the expectations. Rosen not only has fulfilled the promise of his early years; he has surpassed it. A Regents Scholar, UCLA Alumni Scholar and College Honors student when he entered UCLA in 1985, Rosen quickly plunged into university life, becoming president of his dormitory floor and playing on the junior varsity tennis team. His sophomore year saw him serve on the boards of several campus organizations. In 1987, when Rosen was a junior, he became the student welfare commissioner of the Undergraduate Students Association. As a senior, he chaired the Budget Committee of the ASUCLA Board of Control and participated in campus mediation training through the Ombudsman’s office. At the same time, he continued to amass significant academic honors. He completed the College Honors program in three years, instead of the usual four, and will graduate summa cum laude – no easy task in a demanding major like philosophy.

Student awards and activities tell only part of Jeff Rosen’s story. He is articulate, diplomatic, sensitive to those around him, and concerned with social issues. We can expect to hear much of him in the years to come.
