What is pride Achievement weekend (paw)?
The Bruin community at UCLA welcomes LGBTQIA+ students to Pride Achievement Weekend, a two-day hybrid event hosted by UCLA students to learn more about academic, financial, and mental health resources, as well as campus life and the Bruin community from a student perspective. In addition to aiding in the college selection process, this event seeks to foster a space of belonging for all admits while providing unique experiences focused on identity, affirmation, and empowerment by allowing them to connect themselves with UCLA’s LGBTQIA+ organizations and resources. Attendees will benefit from workshops hosted by university employees, alumni networking, and community building, among other events. Through PAW, attendees will develop cherished friendships and a sense of belonging at UCLA. For more information, follow our Instagram @uclapaw or contact us at [email protected].
