UCLA AVID Alumni Association
AVID College Day at UCLA
AVID College Day this year will be on May 20th! Come to our meetings to learn how you can be part of the group that makes amazing events like these come to life! (You can also earn RAZA Grad Hours if you need them)
The AVID Alumni Association prioritizes contributing to this mission by creating a figurative bridge between high school students who want to attend a four year university and AVID Alumni who have gone through similar experiences. The 1st Annual AVID Bruin Day was held last year. It contributed to this goal, manifesting itself in our all-day event that provided students with academic resources, mentorship and motivation to college-bound AVID students. We hosted 300 high school AVID students from surrounding Los Angeles high schools.
