About New Bruin Send-offs

Each summer, regional, diversity and affinity alumni networks across the globe host these fun and casual events. From backyard gatherings to picnics in community parks, Send-offs bring together new Bruins and their families to build community and celebrate the Bruin spirit.

While each event is unique, they all share a common theme: the strength, pride, and connection of the UCLA community.
