It was just one year ago that UCLA Extension created its first ever department of alumni relations, and already there’s so much to celebrate.

In August, we held our inaugural alumni happy hour in downtown Los Angeles, giving students from across generations and areas of study a chance to reconnect and share their stories. In September, we hosted many of the nearly 1,000 UCLA Extension alumni living in France for a networking meet-and-greet in Paris with Dean Eric Bullard and other members of staff.

And there’s much more to come. As we work to broaden the ways UCLA Extension serves the Bruin community, we’ll continue to offer a variety of networking and mentorship opportunities to support our current and former students.

Staying connected with the UCLA Extension alumni community offers a range of benefits. We encourage you to get involved, share your experiences and let us know how you’d like to participate. So, reach out! We’re here to support your lifelong learning journey every step of the way.
