As the holiday season approaches, our hearts and homes fill with the cherished traditions that define our Latino heritage. From Thanksgiving to Christmas, these moments of unity and love are the bedrock of our community.
This spirit of kinship is the essence of the UCLA Latino Alumni Association. As we reflect on the year, we’re filled with gratitude for the community we’ve built together. Consider making an end-of-year gift or including ULAA in your estate planning to support future generations of Latino Bruins.
Thank you for being part of our UCLA familia. Wishing you a joyful and peaceful holiday season.
