Parent and Family Programs Joins the Alumni Team
Led by senior director, Maisha Beasley, this team of three recently joined UCLA Alumni Affairs and will continue to serve as the primary point of contact for parents and family members of more than 29,000 undergraduate students. Similar to the work of Alumni Affairs, they work to keep families connected to the university in hopes it will lead to lifelong engagement.
