UCLA Awards History
From the first Bruin Nobel laureate, to the first woman to host a TV variety show; from the man who broke the color barrier in professional sports, to the Father of the Internet - the men and women honored with the Edward A. Dickson Alumnus of the Year award were a who's who of UCLA lore. As we celebrate the next generation of dignitaries on June 2, take a look at the legacy left behind by these great alumni.

Bruin Brewers and Vintners
Grapes, grain and persistence led these UCLA alumni to success in the beer and winemaking industries. While each one entered into business for different reasons, they all share a passion for their craft and represent the best of the Bruin entrepreneurial spirit.

Gift-a-Grad Special

Then and Now
UCLA was a much different place in 1938. The landscape, the student body, the whole Southern Branch was still in its infancy. Check out this visual comparison of the campus then and now and test your knowledge of how much you know about UCLA in 1938.

Bruin Recipes
