Under most circumstances, “Don’t talk to strangers” is sage advice. But for an idea that has brought appreciation and fun to generations of students and alumni for 55 years and unifies campus with thousands of Bruins around the globe, “strangers” is a supercharged acronym that stands for…
The UCLA student experience is formative and intrinsically understood by all Bruins from North Campus and South, regardless of the degree(s) earned. Our bond is strong irrespective of the years and miles of separation. Dinners for 12 Strangers is a chance to reconnect to precious memories and establish new connections. Strangers quickly become friends when sharing good food and great conversation.
