mentorship
Every Bruin story can spark the next. Through mentorship, alumni and students connect to share real experiences, offer guidance, and open new paths forward.
explore mentorship opportunities
Mentorship at UCLA is about real connection — sharing advice, asking questions, and learning from the experiences of others. Whether you’re looking for guidance or ready to share your experience, your story can help another Bruin shape theirs.
A variety of programs are here to support your growth and lifelong connection to the Bruin community, from the Alumni Mentor Program to alumni networks and scholarship communities. UCLA ONE serves as your hub for building meaningful relationships and finding support at every stage. Set up your profile to explore mentorship opportunities.
alumni mentor program
Share your experience with a current student and help shape the next generation of Bruins. Build a meaningful one-on-one connection while giving back in a tangible way.
DBAN mentoring program
Learn the newsroom from the people who lived it. The Daily Bruin Alumni Network Mentoring Program matches you with a Daily Bruin alum for monthly one-on-one conversations, onsite or online, built around the goals you set for yourself.
OrgullOSO mentorship program
Find a Bruin who shares your story and knows the path ahead. The UCLA Latino Alumni Association’s OrgullOSO Mentorship Program pairs students with alum mentors through identity-based matching, and it launches every fall on UCLA ONE.
community based mentorship
Some of the strongest mentoring relationships start with shared experience. Across UCLA’s identity-based alumni networks, alums mentor current undergraduate and graduate students one-on-one, with a focus on personal and professional growth and on making the most of the years at UCLA. Each network runs its own program, so you can start with the community that fits you.
quick connections, lasting impact
Mentorship doesn’t have to be long-term to be meaningful. Programs like Interview with a Bruin, Entertainment Networking Night, and other events throughout the year offer opportunities for students and alumni to connect through single, high-impact conversations. These moments can spark clarity, build confidence, and strengthen the Bruin community.
