It was a recognition of a century of our shared commitment to the public good. To the welfare of Los Angeles and the world. To opportunity and progress. To you. COMING OF AGE Over the past 100 years, great things have happened here. Groundbreaking things. Things that changed our world for the better. Our 100-year milestone is a moment of reflection and celebration, but also the beginning of our next era - with more to discover and more to accomplish. LEADING THE WAY The impact of UCLA over the last century is the result of generations of Bruins and a shared commitment to the public good. From the first internet transmission to the first mother in space to the first player to break the color barrier in Major League Baseball. This is a campus of firsts. When the world says “that’s impossible” – we say “it can be done.” OPPORTUNITY FOR ALL UCLA is not only one of the world’s greatest research universities, it is an engine of social mobility and progress. Beginning in the fall of 2019, a series of year-long centennial initiatives will continue to expand our commitment to service and equity. ONLY HERE Our connection with Los Angeles doesn't end with our name. The city’s forward-thinking, progressive nature has shaped UCLA as UCLA has shaped Los Angeles. Together, pioneering culture, research, and innovation transforming our world.
