“How can we be a bridge to education for alumni? Chancellor Block has a deep passion for the Bruin Promise. The Bruin Promise means that learning, both in the classroom, and out of the classroom doesn't stop when you graduate, but rather continues in every stage of your life. That's the Bruin Promise, that we as UCLA and as the Alumni Association are here for you.”
Ann Wang '13, President, UCLA Alumni Association

“The Bruin Promise has helped me help others. UCLA really gave me the opportunity to put my best foot forward. Always follow your dreams, don't allow somebody else to take your dream from you or convince you that your dreams are too hard. I'm a firm believer in having a plan, and sticking to it. There are so many Bruin-owned businesses and graduates that want to help. Countless opportunities exist, you’ve just got to be able to find them, get the resources, and make them work for you.”
-De Shaun Foster '14, Associate Head Coach, Running Backs, UCLA Football
