The First-Generation Experience. Approximately one-third of UCLA students are the first in their families to attend college, most of whom come from underrepresented minority groups and underserved communities. Yet, more than 90% attain their degree from UCLA. These are stories about overcoming the odds, and how the university prioritizes the success of first-generation Bruins.

More Than a Game, It's a Bruin Watch Party
All across the country, Bruin fans will gather in neighborhood bars, restaurants and homes to watch UCLA Football take on Texas A&M this Saturday. But as four Bruins from Long Beach, Sacramento, Chicago and Washington, D.C. will attest, the experience is so much more than just watching the game. Find a Watch Party near you.

Note to My Future Bruin Self
During Summer Orientation, UCLA's incoming students were asked to write letters to themselves answering the question: “What impact do I want to make on the Bruin family?” with the intent of re-reading these letters when they graduate. Their responses will make you proud to be a Bruin.

Photos: Good Times at Bruin Bash
Whether home or away, come to the ultimate pregame party complete with a sumptuous buffet, refreshing beverages, games for all ages, entertaining Spirit Squad and UCLA Marching Band performances, big screen TVs, a DJ, unlimited Bruin spirit, and a chance to high-five Coach Mora and the football team. The first Bash just sold out so reserve your spot for upcoming games.
