Alumni Connect
Stay connected with UCLA and the International Institute.
Opportunity. Network. Experience. UCLA ONE allows you to re-connect with former classmates, mentor current students, search for or share available opportunities (jobs/internships), as well as enable you to utilize the trusted UCLA environment to expand your professional network. Through UCLA ONE, we hope to promote a strong sense of community among all International Institute students, both present and past, which extends beyond the boundaries of our campus, and beyond the period spent attaining the degree at UCLA. By sharing your profile, you help us get to that goal! And, to encourage continued association among International Institute students and alums, we have created a group called “International Institute Academic Programs”. Be sure to check it out! This is your community, and by joining you can leverage the collective power of the vast UCLA alumni network. Continue to help build your community by posting, sharing and inviting fellow Bruins to join. You will be amazed by the diversity, vibrancy and generosity of the UCLA global community.
