Breaking Bread With Bruins

Arrive as strangers, leave as friends. That's the magic behind Dinners for 12 Strangers for more than 50 years. Whether you're hosting or attending a dinner with students or alumni, the setting and feeling is replicated at gatherings all over the world: food, friendship and fun. Be a host or be a guest. This is Bruin camaraderie at its best.

Bruin Walk Then & Now

Bruin Walk, the east-west thoroughfare that runs right through Bruin Plaza, is a major focal point of student life. As you would expect, it has evolved with the campus and looks quite different now than it did in this photo from 1947.

CALIFORNIA FIRES

The wildfires in both Northern and Southern California have impacted the UCLA community. Thousands of alumni, students, staff, faculty and Bruin families live in the affected regions, and many were forced to evacuate, with some losing their homes. As one Bruin family, our hearts are with the victims, and we are committed to helping in any way we can. Follow this link to learn how you can show your support and get involved with the relief and recovery effort.
