Move in Support

True Bruin Ambassadors

True Bruin Ambassadors play a vital role in making Move-in week a welcoming experience for new and returning students at UCLA. They greet Bruins with enthusiasm, assist with moving belongings, and offer guidance on navigating their new home and campus.

Resident Assistants (RAs)

Resident Assistants are crucial in fostering a supportive and inclusive living environment for UCLA students. During move-in, RAs help students settle into their community, answer questions, and provide information about campus resources. 

Residential Life Staff and Faculty

Oversee the move-in process each day to ensure everything runs smoothly. They manage logistics, coordinate with staff, and address any issues that arise. Their leadership ensures that students and their families experience a seamless transition into campus life, setting a positive tone for the academic year ahead and maintaining a safe and supportive residential environment.

Housing

The Housing team is dedicated to making move-in as efficient and organized as possible. They handle the intricate details of room assignments, encoding keys, and coordination of move-in schedules. Their coordination, planning, and problem-solving ensure that all Bruins have a smooth start to their UCLA experience.

Go Bruins! ✨
