What happens to a 52-year tradition that unites Bruins for good food and great conversation when physical distancing is the current way of life? We adapt and create new ways to come together in community, virtually. For three nights, worldwide, alumni, students, parents, faculty and fans of UCLA will kindle our Bruin innovation and spirit to laugh, reminisce, make new friends and remember that UCLA unites us and lifts us up. Sign up to host on Feb. 20, 21 or 27. For questions, contact dinners@alumni.ucla.edu.
