About

Housed in the Division of Campus Life within UCLA Student Affairs, the Commuter Support and Programs office aims to advocate for Bruin commuters' academic, co-curricular, and transportation needs as well as create visibility for the commuter student experience across the university. Our mission is to help commuter students build community and ensure that this large, diverse population has access to campus resources to promote their success at UCLA.

Meet the Staff

We are a team of full time staff and student interns whose purpose is to: create awareness of the commuter student experience, develop programs and resources to meet commuter student needs, and advocate for student commuters to feel a sense of belonging and support at UCLA.
