Please join Dean Jayathi Murthy for a conversation with Craig Russell ’80, a project integration executive for Walt Disney Imagineering, as he shares his journey from being a UCLA engineering transfer student to becoming a global leader.
For more than three decades, Russell has worked at Walt Disney Imagineering — starting his career as a project coordinator for Tokyo Disneyland, Disney’s first international theme park, to leading the completion of Star Wars: Galaxy’s Edge at Disneyland Resort and Walt Disney World Resort as seen in “The Imagineering Story” on Disney+. He has led the design of some of Imagineering’s biggest, most complex, and highly successful projects, transforming creative ideas and concepts into 3-D immersive experiences.
