Many of our graduates are first-generation, transfer, undocumented, and low-income students who have overcome extraordinary barriers to reach this milestone. Bruin Bash exists to ensure every student and family feels seen, celebrated, and deeply proud of this achievement.
After an incredible turnout last year, we are proud to once again make this event accessible and affordable for our newest graduates and their families.
