THIS FALL BRINGS A WELCOME MILESTONE Bruins are back, and the 2021-22 academic year is upon us! After 18 long months, the beautiful UCLA campus is again humming with activity as students and faculty come back to lectures, laboratories and seminars. It is a time of renewal, reacquaintance, possibility and promise — this year more than ever. We know that many in the Bruin community still face daunting challenges even as they safely return to campus. Your gift to the College Greatest Needs Fund will help ensure that our 30,000 undergraduate and graduate students and 1,230 faculty can thrive in the coming months, and will provide flexibility to focus on the essential needs of our people and programs. Here in the UCLA College, the academic home to more than 85% of UCLA undergraduates, we are excited to welcome a remarkable group of first-year and transfer students to campus. With your help, our students will encounter an unparalleled educational experience that will transform their lives and set them up for lasting success. Thank you for your generosity as we move forward, and go Bruins! • • •
