Bruin Affiliates Luncheon with Cori Close
Wed 9/16 • 11:30AM PDT
UCLA, James West Alumni Center • Los Angeles CA
@ More Than a Trophy – A Lasting Legacy Join Bruin Affiliates for our September luncheon as Cori Close shares her experience coaching a winning team and her approach to carrying it forward. Cori coached the UCLA women’s basketball team to its first- ever NCAA championship last season, and shares the credit with her outstanding woman’s team that exemplified resilience, toughness and a strong bond that held them together during the remarkable season. Mentored by the legendary John Wooden, she has instilled values that brought the team to national recognition. “It’s not about any one of us — it’s about what we build together.” Close has built an extraordinary legacy at UCLA since taking over as head coach in 2011, compiling a 321-143 record and becoming the program’s all-time winningest coach. Her crowning achievement came in 2026 when she led the Bruins to their first-ever women’s basketball national championship, going 37-1 and routing South Carolina 79-51 in the title game, capping back-to-back Big Ten Tournament titles in 2025 and 2026. Along the way she swept all four major national Coach of the Year awards in 2024-25, developed seven WNBA draft picks, and received the 2024 WBCA Carol Eckman Integrity in Coaching Award — earning a contract extension through the 2029-30 season in recognition of her sustained excellence both on and off the court. $45 members only (active annual dues paid), $50 per person ### [Town & Gown Affiliates of UCLA](https://alumni.ucla.edu/organizer/town-gown-affiliates-of-ucla/) [View Organizer Website](https://alumni.ucla.edu/network/the-town-gown-affiliates-of-ucla/) Add to calendar * Google Calendar * iCalendar * Outlook 365 * Outlook Live

When Traditional Career Advice Doesn’t Fit Your Brain: ADHD at Work With Kelly George
Thu 9/17 • 12PM PDT
Zoom
@ Many professionals with ADHD feel like they’re not living up to their potential at work, but aren’t always sure why. Challenges with focus, follow-through, communication and managing competing demands can impact performance, even when ability is not the issue. This session offers a practical approach to understanding and navigating ADHD in the workplace. Participants will learn how these patterns show up day to day, how they affect productivity and collaboration, and what to do about them. It will delve into strategies for managing focus and follow-through, as well as identifying or adapting to work environments that better support how you function. Rather than relying on generic productivity advice, this workshop will examine tools that reflect how ADHD operates in professional settings. Participants will leave with the ability to recognize how ADHD impacts their work and strategies to work with it more effectively. Whether you are formally diagnosed with ADHD, pursuing an ADHD diagnosis, supporting a loved one or colleague with ADHD, or are simply interested in learning more about this topic, this session is open to everyone. ### [UCLA Alumni Affairs](https://alumni.ucla.edu/organizer/ucla-alumni-affairs/) [View Organizer Website](https://alumni.ucla.edu/) Add to calendar * Google Calendar * iCalendar * Outlook 365 * Outlook Live

Fall 2026 Insurance Waiver Deadline (UGRAD/GRAD)
Sun 9/20 RSVP
Ashe Center Insurance Office (4th Floor)
The University of California requires that all students have health insurance. UCLA assesses all students for a UCSHIP policy to ensure adequate coverage. Have your own health insurance plan? Learn more about how to waive out and receive a credit to your BruinBill. To fulfill this requirement, UCLA automatically enrolls all registered students in UCSHIP (UC Student Health Insurance Plan) at the start of a new academic year. Each academic term, the UCSHIP health fee is billed through BruinBill along with other UCLA fees. If you are covered by an insurance policy that meets waiver criteria and do not want to utilize UCSHIP benefits, you can request to cancel UCSHIP enrollment by submitting an online waiver application with supporting documentation during a waiver period. Students must obtain an approved health fee waiver each academic year to avoid automatic enrollment in the student health insurance plan. Waiver deadline for Fall 2026 (UGRAD/GRAD) is September 20, 2026.

We’ll add a Bruin twist with a photo scavenger hunt: explore the grounds, find the trolls, and capture your most creative poses for a lighthearted photo challenge. Learn more about the exhibit on the Garden’s website: https://southcoastbotanicgarden.org/thomas-dambos-trolls-a-field-study/ This is a relaxed, social way to spend time outdoors, discover one of the South Bay’s standout garden experiences, and connect with Bruins through art, nature, and a little creativity. Space is limited to 15 adult attendees. Registration is $18 and includes general admission to South Coast Botanic Garden, including access to the TROLLS exhibit. Please note: Registration fees are non-refundable, as event costs are planned. The Trolls experience may include more remote and rugged areas of the Garden, with uneven terrain, narrow paths and slopes. Guests should be comfortable walking and standing for the duration of the visit. Please be respectful of Garden paths, plantings, fellow visitors, and exhibit guidelines while enjoying the scavenger hunt. By attending, you acknowledge that photos may be taken and used in future OC Bruins or UCLA Alumni communications. We hope you’ll join us for a morning of art, nature, Bruin connection, and memorable troll photos. Registration includes general admission to South Coast Botanic Garden and access to the TROLLS exhibit. ### [Orange County Network](https://alumni.ucla.edu/organizer/orange-county-network/) [View Organizer Website](https://alumni.ucla.edu/network/orange-county-network/) Add to calendar * Google Calendar * iCalendar * Outlook 365 * Outlook Live
