Bruin Family Socials

Bruin Family Socials (formerly known as Coffee Socials) are events that bring UCLA to neighborhoods around the world. Providing an opportunity for attendees to engage with one another on a regional level, these Socials foster connections and relationships within the greater Bruin community.
Bruin Family Socials are hosted on a year-round basis through a variety of activities and locations*. We hope you will consider hosting or participating in an event near you!
*Venue selection at host's discretion. Participants will be responsible for purchasing their own food and beverage at public venues.
