SUMMARY:Seattle Network: UCLA Recent Grad Mixer
DESCRIPTION:Whether you arrived after graduation or this has always been home\, life after UCLA can make even a familiar city feel new when you see it through a fresh perspective. But there are likely plenty of Bruins nearby — we just don’t recognize one another without our BearWear. Now is the time to change that. Join us for an evening of relaxed fun with the classes of 2023-26. \n\n\n\nThis is as low-key as it gets: no program\, no icebreakers and no expectation that you work the room. If you’d rather not walk in alone\, bring a friend — they don’t need to be a Bruin. Drop in for a bit or stay all evening. And if you want a preview\, that’s Gasworks Brewing pictured below — our spot for the evening. Grab whatever you’d like from the bar or kitchen (separate tabs are available at the counter). Then head out to the dock to enjoy the water\, boats\, bridges and city views while you meet other recent grads who already know at least one chapter of your story. \n\n\n\nMaybe you’ll meet other sports fans to watch a UCLA game with this fall\, find people who want to explore a new local spot in the next few months\, or exchange career tips down the line. Who knows — you might even end up sitting across from one another at a Dinner for 12 Strangers that one of you hosts next February. This could be the start of a circle of Bruins you keep bumping into — and choosing to spend time with. Our greatest hope is that you make friends you like enough to say\, “We should do this again\,” and then actually do it. \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nRSVP Coming Soon!

She later founded Autopilot Reviews\, a customer feedback and employee training technology company. \n\n\n\nDrawing on more than 15 years of experience building businesses and communities\, Misa now helps founders and executives lead with greater authenticity\, overcome the internal barriers that limit their growth\, and build influence without losing themselves in the process. Through The Authentic Asian\, she has created a trusted community where Asian female leaders can build meaningful relationships\, navigate the realities of leadership\, and feel less alone at the top. \n\n\n\nHer work has been featured in Forbes\, Inc.\, Bloomberg\, and The New York Times\, and she has spoken at TEDx and business events nationwide. \n\n\n\nWe hope you will consider supporting our event\, our alumni networks\, and our student scholars! \n\n\n\n\nyou can donate directly to our scholarship funds here\n\n\n\nAsian Pacific Alumni Scholarship Fund \n\n\n\nKyra Goldfarb Scholarship Fund | Bruin Professionals
