The Diversity Digest

We're Thankful

Thanksgiving is this week and, while we may be celebrating from a distance, we have a lot to be thankful for.

We are thankful for the unwavering support for diversity and inclusion from UCLA's leadership;

We are thankful for the work of all of our alumni network leaders, who have continued to build community, virtually, throughout the course of the pandemic;

We are thankful for all of you, our readers, who make up our diverse alumni community.

The holiday season is often a time to give back. This week we wanted to highlight some of the causes to which we'll be giving — many of which were submitted by our readers.

UCLA Alumni Support Fund
We will be supporting the UCLA Alumni Association through the UCLA Alumni Support Fund. This fund helps make programs like our most recent EmPower Hour possible.

UCLA Alumni Diversity Network Scholarship Funds  
We will be supporting our UCLA Alumni diversity networks, which award scholarships to support students who have contributed to our diverse community.

American Indian Alumni of UCLA
Asian Pacific Alumni of UCLA
UCLA Black Alumni Association
UCLA Lambda Alumni Association
UCLA Latino Alumni Association
UCLA Pilipino Alumni Association
UCLA Mixed Alumni Association
UCLA Muslim Alumni Association
Undocumented Alumni Association of UCLA


No Bruin Hungry Spark Campaign
We will be supporting the UCLA Community Programs Office to help tackle food insecurity on campus with the No Bruin Hungry Spark Campaign.

Black in Chem Spark X UCLA Spark Campaign
We will be supporting the UCLA Department of Chemistry & Biochemistry in its recruitment and support of Black academics and the next generation of Black scientists.

As always, we thank you for your love and support. Feel free to forward this to a friend and visit our social media companion to the Diversity Digest on Instagram at @ucladiversealum. Let us know what you are thankful for and what causes you'll be giving to at diversity@alumni.ucla.edu.

Thank you,

UCLA Alumni Diversity Programs & Initiatives staff
