Mission

The Bruin Entertainment Network (BEN) exists to magnify the prestige and strength of UCLA by increasing the influence and visibility of its alumni and the greater UCLA entertainment community. Our vision is to have Bruins consistently nominated and awarded the industry’s highest honors. To this end, BEN supports alumni within their personal and professional endeavors by strengthening alumni connections in the industry, the media, performing arts organizations, and with other UCLA alumni groups.

History
The Bruin Entertainment Network became a part of the broader UCLA Alumni Association in 2016 and is one of many Affinity networks under the association umbrella.
