UCLA is getting ready to welcome more than 9,000 new Bruins to campus with festivals, concerts, film screenings, receptions, information sessions, networking events, social activities and tours.

This year roughly 6,000 freshman and 3,200 transfer students are coming to campus. Of these, some 7,000 are California residents. In addition, UCLA will welcome more than 4,000 graduate students. Fall quarter starts Sept. 25 and classes begin Sept. 28.

True Bruin Welcome begins with hundreds of student volunteers lined up and ready to help their fellow Bruins move into on-campus housing beginning Thursday, Sept. 21 and ending Sunday, Sept. 24. Roughly 13,200 students will be living on the Hill, UCLA’s undergraduate on-campus residential community, during the 2017–18 school year.

Students will get a first look at what it means to be a Bruin on Sept. 24 at “This is Bruin Life,” during which UCLA Chancellor Gene Block will formally welcome them to UCLA. The show, which will be held from 2 to 4 p.m. in Pauley Pavilion, features the talents of UCLA students and alumni.

Students will also have an opportunity to get to know Westwood Village on Sept. 24 during the inaugural Westwood Village Block Party, which will be held from 5 to 10 p.m. on Broxton Avenue. This outdoor vendor fair and street party will include a movie screening, a petting zoo and a roller rink featuring music by KCRW DJs Travis Holcombe and Anthony Valadez.

The much-anticipated Bruin Bash happens Monday, Sept. 25 with a festival from noon to 4 p.m. on the Intramural Field and a concert from 7:30 p.m. to 12 a.m. in Pauley Pavilion. For those not attending the concert, a free screening of “Wonder Woman” will be held at the Sunset Recreation Center from 8 to 10 p.m.

On Tuesday, Sept. 26, the Enormous Activities Fair will bring together many of the more than 1,000 registered campus organizations at UCLA, along with club sports, Greek life and student service groups to share information, offer demonstrations and attract new members. Representatives from these groups and organizations will be on Royce Quad from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m.

On Sept. 27, the cast of “13 Reasons Why” will participate in a panel discussion about the show and mental health. Cast members will also take questions from the audience and participate in a meet and greet. The event will be held at Royce Hall from 5 to 8 p.m.
