Study Abroad Photo & Video Contest
Show Us the World Through Your Lens!
The Study Abroad Photo & Video Contest is your chance to show off the magic of your global adventure and share it with the UCLA family. Whether it’s an epic sunset, a hilarious moment, or a super creative take on your time abroad, we want to see it all—through your lens!
Get creative, have fun, and let your photos and videos tell your unique story. Ready to wow us?
We will start accepting submissions for the 2026 contest in August.Â
Global Bruins Mixer
Back from Abroad? The Adventure’s Not Over!
Returning from study abroad doesn’t mean your international journey has to end. Connect with fellow Bruins who’ve studied abroad and meet incoming UCLA exchange and visiting students over refreshments, games, and great conversation.
Come hang out, swap stories, and keep the global energy going!
Engage globally—right here at UCLA.
This mixer is held every January and October to welcome back our study abroad returnees and greet our incoming exchange students.
