2023 Yearbook/Annual Theme: Anatomy of a Bruin

College is the time to find who you are. We explore our nuanced identities: our passions, spirituality, sexuality. As such, our goal is to feature students’ personal experiences with these "awakenings” in which you’ve discovered yourselves or found some clarity in some aspect of your lives. Do you have any "awakening" experience that you would like to share.

The Body is Beautiful Project

The BruinLife staff is working on a photography project that showcases Bruins in the nude regardless of shape, age, size, skin tone, gender, and physical abilities. This project will be published in the annual (yearbook), online on bruinlife.com and will be showcased at an art gallery on the UCLA campus. We invite all current Bruins and alumni to participate in this project as we celebrate that the Body is Beautiful. If you have any questions regarding the project, please send an email to [email protected]
