Inspirational Black Bruins
UCLA has a rich history of African Americans who have made significant contributions to UCLA, Los Angeles and society. We've highlighted some individuals who represent a slice of that history, as well as Black Bruins who are making an impact today. They were selected in part by prominent members of the UCLA community dedicated to diversity. Tell us about Black Bruins who have inspired you!

UCLA Awards: Excellence in Blue and Gold
For 70 years, UCLA has paid tribute to its most distinguished alumni and friends whose impact on society has brought great honor to the university. This legacy continues with a new generation. Join us on May 7 to celebrate the next Alumnus of the Year and other award recipients.

Raising a Healthy Child - Feb. 11, UCLA
An entire industry exists to persuade consumers “what’s good” for children and, thus, confuses us with a lot of mixed messages. Two alumnae experts will lead a discussion about the nutritional and emotional needs of children 10 and under. If you're a parent, educator or someone who cares about children, this event is for you. RSVP today!

The Day I Realized I Can't Do It All
As a career woman in one of the most cutthroat industries on the planet, Janie Porter '03 thought she had it all figured out. Then she became a parent. Now, with three kids four years old and under, she's realized: "I can't do it all. And that's okay." Read how she's making that work for her, instead of against her.

A Toast to You
Malibu Family Wines offers you a chance to connect and mingle with fellow alumni at exclusive events, receive great wine and enjoy benefits. Join the UCLA Alumni Wine Club today!
