The Making of Indigenous Peoples Day
On Aug. 30, the Los Angeles City Council voted to replace Columbus Day with Indigenous Peoples Day in honor and recognition of the native inhabitants of Los Angeles. Read how UCLA staff, students and alumni played a critical role in this historical achievement.

One Unforgettable Game
Like most people who watched UCLA's unbelievable comeback win against Texas A&M in the season opener, Karen Nguyen '08 and John Hatch '75 rode that emotional roller coaster to its exhilarating end. Relive that crazy game through their eyes and the magic of never giving up.

The Bell of the Ball
Besides a National Championship trophy, the Victory Bell is the most coveted prize for any Bruin fan. Because it means victory over our arch-nemesis. But have you ever wondered what this 88-year-old rivalry has meant to the Victory Bell herself? She tells all in this Connect exclusive.
