ULAA brings students, alumni, families, and community members into the same room to connect, learn from one another, and stay engaged with UCLA beyond any single event. 🫂

These spaces matter because comunidad grows when people have opportunities to show up, build relationships, share experiences, and stay connected across generations.

When you support 60,000 STRONG, you help ULAA continue creating the programs and gatherings that keep Latino Bruins connected and strengthen the community we are building together. 💛

Show up for the next Bruin 🐻💙

The UCLA Latino Alumni Association is excited to launch our Volunteer Program, creating new opportunities for alumni, current students, and community members to make a meaningful impact.

Every scholarship, networking event, mentorship opportunity, and community program starts with people who choose to give back. Whether your passion is marketing, alumni engagement, student success, fundraising, university relations, or event support, there’s a place for you in the ULAA familia.

This is more than volunteering. It’s an opportunity to strengthen our Bruin community, support future generations, and help shape what’s next for ULAA.

A warm welcome to our newest Bruins 💙🐻

Last weekend, the UCLA Latino Alumni Association welcomed incoming students and their families to UCLA for our 2026 New Bruin Send-Off.

From student panels and family conversations to keynote speakers, campus resources, community partners, and time to connect, the day was all about helping new Bruins feel prepared, supported, and connected before the start of the academic year.

Thank you to every student, family member, speaker, volunteer, partner, and alumnus who helped make the day possible. We’re grateful to everyone who showed up to welcome the next generation of Bruins and share what it means to be part of UCLA.

To our new Bruins, this is only the beginning. From your first days at UCLA to everything that comes next, ULAA is here to support you! 💛

Welcome to UCLA, and Go Bruins!

Tomorrow is the day!

We are so excited to welcome our newest Bruins and their families at New Bruin Send-Off. ✨💙

Whether you are preparing to step onto campus for the first time, beginning your journey as a transfer student, or joining us as a parent or family member, we hope tomorrow reminds you of one thing: you are already part of this community.

We cannot wait to meet you, celebrate this next chapter with you, and introduce you to the people, stories, and comunidad that will be here to support you throughout your Bruin journey. 🫂

Thank you to everyone who RSVP’d and helped us reach capacity. We are incredibly grateful for the excitement surrounding this year’s Send-Off.

New Bruins and families, we’ll see you tomorrow!!

Welcome Home 🐻💛

As we get ready for a meaningful day of comunidad, connection, and encouragement, we’re proud to spotlight Humberto Benitez, one of our Parent & Family Speakers. Humberto is a proud UCLA alumnus from the Class of 1990, earning his B.A. in History before going on to receive his J.D. from UC Berkeley School of Law. His career has been rooted in public service, from his work with organizations such as CARECEN and MALDEF to nearly three decades as a Deputy Public Defender in Los Angeles County. In 2024, he was appointed as a Los Angeles County Superior Court Commissioner. 🐻

Humberto’s Bruin story is also deeply personal. He met his wife Claudia at UCLA, and both of their daughters, Elizabeth and Katherine, are UCLA graduates as well. As a parent, alumnus, and public servant, he brings a powerful perspective on supporting students through their UCLA journey while staying grounded in family, service, and community.

We are so excited for Humberto to share his experience with our new Bruins and their families tomorrow, and to remind them that they belong here and do not have to navigate this journey alone. 🙌🏼💙
