Once a Bruin, Always a Bruin
2025 marks the centennial of the UCLA Alumni Association. As they continue to unite and uplift graduates past, present and future, it’s clear there is only one organization who can make anyone 8-clap at any time. With humble beginnings, five Bruins started the Alumni Association in Spring 1925 with just a few, simple words: “we’ll all be graduating soon; we need some kind of an organization to bind us together.” Ever since, the Alumni Association has provided the UCLA community with some of the best resources, entertainment and events in Los Angeles—and they continue to do so. This June, check out their online guided meditations, career workshops and celebrations for the class of 2025.
