UCLA vs. USC Game

Coach Wooden and The Bruin Bear are fully covered which can only mean one thing: Rivalry week is here! For the 93rd time and the last time as members of the Pac-12, UCLA and USC will meet on the gridiron to play for the coveted Victory Bell and bragging rights for the City of Los Angeles. Unfortunately, the annual Beat 'SC Rally on campus scheduled for Nov. 15 had to be canceled due to predicted rain and safety risks to participants and electronic equipment. Tune in for the game on Saturday, Nov. 18, at 12:30 p.m. PST on ABC, or get together with Bruin fans at Game Watch Parties near you. Go Bruins! 
Tailgaters

Timeless Tailgaters

It’s a tradition like no other. The atmosphere of a college football tailgate party is rife with school spirit, with the smell of food on the grill, and laughter and music all around. The Rose Bowl Fun Zone in Lot H has become the gathering place for real Bruin fans. Meet some of the most dedicated Bruin tailgaters, going strong for more than 40 years.

Bruin Creative Writing Stories

Last September, we announced a new creative writing assignment: In less than 500 words, tell us a story that begins with "I found a hidden door in Kerckhoff and it took me..." Several Bruin creatives had fun with it and submitted these stories that capture the imagination. Can you guess which was generated by A.I.?

Chancellor Charles Young

Remembering Chancellor Young

Charles E. Young, M.A. '57, Ph.D. '60, former chancellor who led UCLA for nearly three decades, has died at 91. From 1968 to 1997, he guided UCLA through the turbulent '70s and the belt-tightening '90s, overseeing its transformation from a regional institution to the world-class research university that it is today.
