The department had an exciting and high-energy presence at UCLA’s Bruin Day, the university’s premier admitted student event welcoming incoming freshmen. The day offered an immersive introduction to campus life, academic opportunities, and the vibrant UCLA community. Our booth was buzzing with activity from start to finish.
We saw incredible engagement throughout the day, especially from admits in neighboring Physical Science departments, who were eager to learn more about our programs and connect with our students. Visitors were drawn to our dynamic setup and left inspired after meaningful conversations with our team.
The Artemis launch and broader space-related topics sparked significant conversation, generating excitement and increasing interest in the department. We also built great momentum with neighboring programs, reflecting the collaborative and enthusiastic spirit that defines UCLA.
Overall, Bruin Day was a fantastic opportunity to showcase the department, spark excitement among future Bruins, and celebrate the energy and excellence of our community.
Stay tuned for Transfer Day happening May 16, 2026.
