Send Them Off Right. From July - September, alumni networks worldwide host New Bruin Send-offs to welcome incoming students and families to UCLA. Ranging from backyard gatherings to potluck picnics, these events showcase the reach and strength of the UCLA community, provide a space for students and parents to ask questions and give alumni a chance to share their UCLA experience. Attend a Send-off near you!
