Tour de UCLA Campus. From north to south, take a cruise down memory lane weaving through the beautiful UCLA campus in 5 minutes. See your favorite landmarks, pass through old hangouts and catch a glimpse of Bruin traditions being re-enacted.

Bruin Bash: A Pre-Game Ritual
Before UCLA Football takes the field, get revved up with fellow Bruins at the best pre-game party in town, hosted by UCLA Alumni. Enjoy unlimited food, drink and spirit, along with visits from Joe and Josie, the Spirit Squad and special guests. Make your reservations for upcoming home and road games.

Councilmember Reflects on His Roots
Last May, David Ryu '99 became the first Korean American to be elected to the Los Angeles City Council. He discusses the influences that turned this once pre-med bio major into a political newcomer and public servant. And to no one's surprise, it all leads back to UCLA.

Countdown to Game Time
Can't make it to the Rose Bowl or any of the road games? Do the next best thing and head over to a UCLA Football game-watching party near you. Food, fun and fantastic Bruin camaraderie are waiting for you. Participating local cities for the Sept. 5 game: Agoura Hills, Camarillo, Corona, Downey, Fullerton, Huntington Beach and Sherman Oaks.

Welcome to the City
After numerous successful tours, hikes and dining adventures in 2014, Welcome to the City is back for another round of local fun. Experience the culture and community of L.A. with folks who share your UCLA pride. Events are happening in Crenshaw, Downey, Downtown, Little Tokyo, Miracle Mile, Pasadena, Santa Cruz Island, Silver Lake, Topanga, West Hollywood and Westwood.
