We are proud to announce the 2024-25 ULAA Board of Directors! These 15 UCLA alumni were selected from the largest pool of board applicants in ULAA’s history, and now they comprise the largest and most geographically diverse ULAA Board to date — spanning all of California, as well as the Pacific Northwest and even Mexico City! Please take a moment to learn more about these leaders in the areas of education, real estate, law, business, healthcare, consulting, communications and public policy, and hopefully make a connection.

OrgullOSO Mentorship Program
Share your knowledge and experience — become a mentor to a current UCLA student. We'll do our best to pair mentors and students based on interests and experience levels. Please create a UCLA ONE Profile and join the 2024-25 OrgullOSO Mentorship group by Sept. 30.
The mentorship program will officially commence in October and will conclude on June 30, 2025. Alumni who are selected as mentors will be notified via email. In order to become a mentor, please follow the detailed instructions on our website.
As part of our efforts to scale ULAA and enable it to expand its reach and programming, we are seeking to partner with leading corporations and foundations interested in supporting higher education and Latino-related causes and initiatives. Through a planned and selective approach, we will establish partnerships with companies that demonstrate their support of ULAA’s vision and values through tiered-giving sponsorship levels.
Stay tuned for announcements about these exciting partnerships as they materialize and, if you are part of an organization that could benefit from joining forces with ULAA, please do not hesitate to contact latino@alumni.ucla.edu for more information.
