Mr. Wollesen gave an informative presentation on his job bringing a vast array of cultural and community programming to UCSD. Mr. Wollesen is focusing on developing a a new performing arts series called ArtPower! Mr. Wollesen believes art can be appreciated regardless of your background and can transform lives.
