The UCLA Rose Bowl Bruins is a non-profit group that helps to connect Bruins with the university and each other in the greater San Gabriel Valley. Our board is made up of Bruin volunteers, and every two years per our by-laws we hold elections for the officer positions (President, Vice President, Treasurer, Secretary), as well as recruiting at-large positions. This is a great opportunity to meet other Bruins in the area, as well as help support our scholarship fund for local UCLA students.

Our next election is coming up on June 25th, and we are seeking Bruins to get involved and join our board. For more information please reach out to the current board president Nicole at [email protected]. Go Bruins!
