We had a fun start to the Summer Springboard program here on the campus of UCLA!

Students arrived in Los Angeles for the kick-off to our program, excited to begin two unforgettable weeks of exploration, growth, and new friendships. After settling into the residence halls and meeting their roommates and mentors, students began forming quick connections, sparked by shared interests, big dreams and the inspiring energy of UCLA’s iconic campus. With sunshine, palm trees, and Bruin pride all around, the program is already off to a fantastic start.

Looking ahead, our UCLA students are getting ready for an action-packed schedule filled with hands-on academic courses taught by experienced professionals, exciting excursions throughout Los Angeles, and True You sessions designed to help them reflect on who they are and where they’re headed. Whether walking through Royce Quad, collaborating in dynamic classroom spaces, or exploring the vibrant culture of LA, this group is ready to embrace every moment.

We can’t wait to see how the next two weeks unfold!
