Nominate a Bruin for a UCLA Award
Since 1946, we've bestowed UCLA Awards on those who have contributed significantly to the betterment of their communities, distinguished themselves as public servants and set new standards of excellence in their profession. This is your chance to nominate a deserving Bruin for one of the categories for this prestigious award. Recipients will be honored at a formal ceremony on June 3.

Our Bruin Family
Our family won't expect you to text us back. Or pout if you leave the party early. Or judge what you will or won't eat. We will celebrate your achievements. Help you learn and grow. And be there when you need us. Generations of family photos, countless Bruin memories. Imagine our future together. Support our Bruin family by upgrading your membership.
