Bruins At Bat
UCLA has produced professional athletes in all the major American sports. Our most legendary, Jackie Robinson, is one of baseball's most revered icons. With Major League Baseball Playoffs about to commence, here's a rundown of the Bruin men and women currently playing in the MLB and the National Pro Fastpitch League.

Alumni Mentors Make a Difference
Whether it's for academic guidance, career advice or personal development, students who establish a relationship with a mentor have a greater chance for success at UCLA and their future endeavors. It's no wonder that each year, nearly 1,500 alumni and students find it mutually beneficial to participate in the Alumni Mentor Program. No matter where you live, sign up to be a mentor through UCLA ONE!

The Seven Alumni Nobel Laureates of UCLA
The Nobel Prize is famously awarded for discovering, boundary-breaking and free thinking. Since those are what Bruins do best, UCLA is home to not one - but seven - Nobel Laureates. Take a comprehensive look at the research and work of these alumni Nobel Laureates and be inspired by how Bruins have changed the world.
