NOVEMBER 2016 | YOUNG ALUMNI EDITION

Re-ignite Your Passion at the Beat 'SC Bonfire and Rally, Nov. 17, 6 p.m. There's nothing like it. The revelry. The unity. The Bruin faithful gathered en masse to celebrate our Bruinhood, and rally our football team towards one ultimate goal: Beat 'SC! This night promises to entertain. From the sounds of UCLA's talented a cappella groups to the dance euphoria when the football team takes the stage, we Bruins know how to get fired up for the big game. RSVP in advance and get alumni VIP seating, or watch the livestream. Sponsored by Wescom Credit Union.

Unwrapping Food Insecurity at UCLA
The idiom starving student is all too real in the UC system. A recent study found that 40% of students are food insecure, meaning they lack reliable access to affordable, nutritious food. Read the stories of students who rely on UCLA's Food Closet for their daily sustenance, the selfless staff and volunteers who are working hard to meet these students' basic needs, and how you can be part of the solution to curb Bruin hunger.

Grateful Bruins Pay it Forward on Thanksgiving
Understanding that the holiday is more than turkey, football and a kickoff to a season of year-ending celebrations, Bruin acts of kindness set the table for a community of hope.

Welcome Week Wisdom from Alumni
The tradition of Bruins helping Bruins was on display during Welcome Week as alumni returned to campus to speak to students from diverse backgrounds. Their message: make the most out of your Bruin experience and we’ll be here to support you throughout your journey.

Host a Dinner for 12 Strangers
Simple gatherings around a dinner table can create magical moments of friendship. If you live near campus share this tradition with excited students or if Westwood is not close, sign up to host a dinner for alumni in your area.
