This fall, UCLA will welcome the most academically accomplished class in its history. Racial, ethnic and socioeconomic diversity also increased with a significant jump in the number of students from groups that have been historically underrepresented on campus.
As an alumni association, we look forward each year to welcoming our new Bruins and their families at New Bruin Send-Offs around the world. This issue is dedicated to the newest members of our Bruin family.
