The Alumni Living Room at the Heart of Campus

UCLA True Bruin Traditions Keeper App
What if there was a prize for attending the Beat 'SC Bonfire or watching Spring Sing? UCLA students have a new bucket list in the form of an app that documents each experience with a UCLA tradition. Complete enough traditions and they'll earn a medal for Commencement, a trip to an award ceremony hosted by alumni and a UCLA experience they'll never forget.
