Connect
UTLA Alumni Community
The UTLA experience expands beyond one semester, as UTLA alumni play a pivotal role in the student experience as part of the alumni community. UTLA alumni are invited to Los Angeles-based student events, may provide or receive mentorship, and offer vital connectivity to internship opportunities.
Opportunities for Involvement

Alumni, parents and friends play a pivotal role in enhancing the UTLA student experience.
