UCLA alum
A group of UCLA alumni and community members smiling and laughing together at an event. Several people are seated in the front while others stand behind them, with a display of photos and UCLA-themed decorations visible in the background.
As we mark Hispanic Heritage Month, we take pride in the rich and diverse cultures that shape our comunidad. This is a time to honor the histories and contributions of our UCLA network whose roots trace to Spain, Mexico, the Caribbean, and Central and South America. It is also a moment to reflect on the UCLA Latino Alumni Association’s journey and how our vision, mission and values continue to uplift our community.

This month, we celebrate our past, present and future. We are proud of our heritage and excited for what lies ahead. Thank you for being part of the UCLA Latino Alumni Association. ¡Adelante!

Leadership
2025–26 Board of Directors
Fifteen alumni will serve on this year’s board — one of our largest and most diverse to date. Members represent law, business, technology, marketing, education and more. Their leadership will help advance UCLA’s and ULAA’s mission.
Meet the Board
A large group of UCLA students and alumni pose together indoors for a photo. At the center, a woman wearing a UCLA graduation stole stands in front, surrounded by smiling attendees. Behind them, a screen displays a welcome slide with the UCLA logo and a speaker’s photo.
Scholarship success
Fiat Lux! Campaign surpasses goal
More than 60 donors raised $26,188 — surpassing our $25,000 goal. Funds will provide critical support to undergraduates through the UCLA Latino Alumni Scholarship Fund. This year alone, 32 scholarships were awarded.
A group of people gather in a dimly lit bar or lounge space, seated and standing around high tables. A speaker in a suit addresses the crowd near the bar, while attendees listen attentively. The setting features modern décor with hanging plants, colorful wall art, and soft ambient lighting.
Community gathering
Bruins connect at DTLA mixer
