UCLA is a university that houses one of the most diverse student
populations in the nation, and it acknowledges and explores the
diversity of its students, faculty and the community at large with
various programs that study themes like religion and
nationality.

Though star-gazing is a near impossibility in Los Angeles due to

L.A. community can go to see the stars in the night sky: the UCLA

shows.

The UCLA Anderson School of Management was recently named
“Best in Entrepreneurship” worldwide by the Financial

While the sun shines brightly and the wind spreads litter
throughout campus, a group of developmentally disabled individuals,
working for UCLA’s Facilities Management team, diligently
hunts down pieces of litter and helps keep UCLA clean.

As UCLA summer school students travel up Bruin Walk on a hot,
summer afternoon, most immediately can tell that they are not among
the same crowd that will be present during the rest of the
year. 
Instead, during the summer, the campus is home to thousands of
people with something other than academics in mind.
