Our Mission: Offering Essential and Well-Being Support Services
We ensure that all students have a stable foundation from which to pursue their education by addressing immediate basic needs, fostering well-being, and promoting equal opportunity. Through collaboration and care, we help students pursue their education without hardship and achieve their full potential in a supportive campus community where they can maintain focus, build resilience, and thrive throughout their time at UCLA.
Our Vision
To create a UCLA where every student has reliable access to the essential resources they need to live with dignity, pursue their education without hardship, and achieve their full potential in a supportive and equitable campus community.
An Open Space for All Students
Our team is intentional about making our space easy to navigate and approachable as well as responsive to the unique questions and timelines that often come with transferring or returning to school. Serving all undergraduate and graduate student populations such as non-traditional, transfer, commuter, parenting, veteran, and first-generation students, we recognize that the transition into a new campus environment can come with added layers of adjustment.
