We understand you may feel a wide range of emotions or experience frustrations that come and go without explanation or do not even make any sense. Please know there are resources available through UCLA Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion, Counseling and Psychological Services and the RISE Center. You can read statements from UCLA Alumni Association President, Cheryl Lott, UCLA Chancellor Gene Block, and the University of California Office of the President.  For more information on the resources available to students and alumni through the UCLA Alumni Association, visit UCLA Alumni Career Engagement and UCLA Alumni Diversity Programs and Initiatives webpages.  ----- Bruin Success is hosted by Katie Russo, produced by Christian Chavez '13 and made possible by UCLA Alumni.
