Los Angeles Westside Network: UCLA Recent Grad Mixer
Thu 10/22 • 6PM PDT

One thing many of us miss about UCLA is how easy it was to run into friends and feel part of a community because even in L.A., people can scatter surprisingly quickly after graduation. We want to help recreate a bit of that Bruin camaraderie here because we know there are plenty of Bruins nearby — we just don’t recognize one another now that BearWear isn’t our daily attire. We can change that. Join us for an evening of relaxed fun with the classes of 2020-26.
This is as low-key as it gets: no program, no icebreakers and no expectation that you work the room. If you’d rather not walk in alone, bring a friend — they don’t need to be a Bruin. Drop in for a bit or stay all evening. If you want a preview, 1212 Santa Monica — our spot for the evening — is pictured below. Order whatever you’d like from the bar or kitchen on your own tab, then settle into the open, two-story space and enjoy the lively Santa Monica atmosphere. With creative cocktails, a SoCal-inspired menu and plenty of room to catch up or get to know someone new, 1212 feels like the perfect place to meet other recent grads who already know at least one chapter of our story.
Maybe you’ll meet other sports fans to watch a UCLA game with this fall, find people who want to explore a new local spot in the next few months, or exchange career tips down the line. Who knows — you might even end up sitting across from one another at a Dinner for 12 Strangers that one of you hosts next February. This could be the start of a circle of Bruins you keep bumping into — and choosing to spend time with. Our greatest hope is that you make friends you like enough to say, “We should do this again,” and then actually do it..
