new bruin send-offs 2025 San Mateo

UCLA Alumni Affairs was thrilled to host one of our favorite summer traditions — New Bruin Send-offs!

The San Mateo Send-off was an unforgettable gathering where incoming students, families, and alumni came together to celebrate the start of their Bruin story. Hosted by alumni and UCLA families, the event brought everyone together for a lively afternoon filled with Bruin pride, shared stories, and the beginning of lasting memories and friendships.

For students and families in the Bay Area, the San Mateo Send-off was the perfect way to connect with the UCLA community before beginning their Bruin journey.
