sponsored by the UCLA Alumni Association, to bring together Social Welfare
alumni, students, and faculty in an informal, fun setting.
Alumni Advocacy
Join Bruin
Caucus and become a UCLA advocate by volunteering to participate in
the political process – meeting legislators, writing letters, attending
informational events and bolstering support for higher education.
Student Support
Volunteer to support current
students and help communicate the value of their degree. We need
speakers for career events, advocates for student recruitment efforts and
internship opportunities.
The UCLA Alumni Network
Database
Social Welfare alumni are
invited to volunteer to provide information about their professions and
jobs to students and alumni via the UCLA Alumni Network Database.
The network, run by the UCLA Alumni Association, contains business information
for 4,000 alumni volunteers. UCLA students and members of the UCLA
Alumni Association can access the database from the Web. Interested
students and alumni browse a list of volunteers’ firms and positions, then
obtain names and phone numbers directly from the UCLA Alumni Association.
