The UCLA Department of History was pleased to welcome distinguished alumna Valorie Kondos-Field as the keynote speaker at its commencement ceremony on June 16, 2013. UCLA head coach Valorie Kondos Field has positioned her Bruins as one of the premier programs in collegiate gymnastics. Not only has she consistently recruited and coached some of the top talent in the world, but she has produced the results.

The Bruins won their first NCAA championship in 1997 under Kondos Field and won again in back-to-back seasons in both 2000-2001 and 2003-2004. In 2010, UCLA won its sixth NCAA title with a 24-for-24 performance in the Super Six. UCLA has remained the Leader of the Pac under Kondos Field's tenure, winning 12 conference titles, including the inaugural Pac-12 title in 2012, to go along with 16 NCAA Regional titles. She has won both National and Conference Coach of the Year honors four times in her career.

Kondos Field emphasizes a team concept, but her student-athletes have also found individual success, winning 25 NCAA individual titles during her years as head coach, including 22 in the last 14 years.

In 22 years as Bruin head coach, Kondos Field enters 2013 with a career record of 422-96-2 (.813 winning percentage). She was inducted into the UCLA Athletics Hall of Fame in 2010.
