Be Yourself, Engage and Grow

With our vast array of student organizations, you can feel at home and thrive as you connect with others who share your background, ethnicity, identity or interest. Here are just a handful of examples.

Renee profile

The National Society of Black Engineers has really been my community here at UCLA. I’ve served on the board twice. One year, I was able to throw our biggest annual outreach event, Women in Science and Engineering (WISE) Day. It’s a collaborative, nurturing, self-paced learning environment. And I think the experience is especially enriching for NSBE freshmen.
