'84 Olympics

Bruin Stories: When I Volunteered in the '84 Olympics
During the summer of 1984, UCLA opened its campus - and its heart - to the Games of the XXIII Olympiad. UCLA’s central location, top notch facilities and plenty of space for athletes and spectators made it an ideal setting, and gave these Bruin volunteers a front-row seat for all the excitement.
