Volunteer Gratitude Experience - 2026

On Sunday, May 17, 2026, the UCLA Alumni Association hosted a heartfelt Volunteer Gratitude Experience celebrating the incredible dedication and impact of Bruin volunteers. The event brought together alumni leaders, volunteers, and staff in a warm and welcoming atmosphere centered on appreciation, connection, and community. Through thoughtful programming and meaningful interactions, volunteers were recognized for the countless ways they strengthen and support the UCLA community around the world.

The celebration also highlighted the ongoing Bruins Around the World virtual scavenger hunt, which invites alumni to share stories, photos, and memories that showcase their UCLA journey and Bruin spirit from wherever they are in the world. Alumni can still participate (ends June 1st 2026) and learn more at: https://alumni.ucla.edu/scavenger-hunt-2026/
