Dinners for 12 Strangers

Dinner for 12 Strangers: Host an Evening to Remember - Feb. 25, 26 or March 5. For nearly half a century, Bruins have assembled near campus for laughter-filled evenings of food, conversation and fun. This tradition continues with people like you who are willing to share your heart, your hospitality and your food with UCLA students, faculty or local alumni who you may not have otherwise met at UCLA. Whether your preference is casual or gourmet, in your home or at a local eatery, the magic will come from the people you meet and the memories you make. Sign up by Tuesday, Jan. 10. #D12UCLA
