First Gen Alumni Network

UCLA’s First Gen Network serves alumni from all backgrounds, ages and ethnicities whose parents or guardians have not received a four-year U.S. bachelor's degree. Providing social and professional engagement, community outreach and mentorship opportunities through events, networking and community service, the First Gen Alumni Network will create sustainable connections and support for all members of the community. In recent years, the campus has made great strides in increasing support for first-generation Bruins and the First Gen Alumni Network is dedicated to ensuring this community of support continues after graduation.

The First Gen alumni network endeavors to:

• Promote awareness and education
• Welcome, congratulate, advise and mentor
• Provide support through scholarships
• Advocate on behalf of first generation students and graduates
• Foster connections with and among alumni
• Represent UCLA in the community
