@ This interactive session led by career coach Jessica Sanam Hekmat invites participants to pause and reset to cultivate presence and self-awareness while navigating professional and personal demands. We’ll explore practical mindfulness tools and reflective prompts designed to foster resilience, regulate stress and re-energize focus. The conversation will balance strategy and self-inquiry, and we’ll ground together in real time through guided breath work, reflection and visualization. Participants will leave with practical ways to reconnect to their values and sense of purpose, even when the external environment feels unpredictable.

@ UCLA Pilipino Alumni Association (PAA) is thrilled to once again be joining this year’s Dribble for Victory Over Cancer, UCLA’s joint fundraiser with the Pediatric Cancer Research Foundation and V Foundation for Cancer Research to raise funds for pediatric cancer research at UCLA Mattel Children’s Hospital. Participants will raise money and awareness for pediatric cancer research while dribbling through Drake Stadium. Individuals, families, clubs and teams will have the opportunity to meet college basketball players, coaches and alumni while giving kids and their families battling cancer a chance for a brighter tomorrow. This is the fourth year PAA is co-sponsoring a team named “Team Richard Lou Contreras PAAmilya” with PAA board member Aimee Contreras-Camua, in memory of her brother, who passed away from aplastic anemia at 15 years of age. Last year, our team ranked in the top 3 and had the opportunity to take a team photo with the UCLA Men’s and Champion Women’s Basketball teams.
