Please help us build the infrastructure and the core programs of the
Daily Bruin Alumni Network by becoming a team member of the Committee
for DBAN! Our goal is to become an official UCLA Alumni Association
affiliate network and a university-recognized support group for The
Bruin, with robust networking, mentoring and fundraising capabilities,
built to support fellow alumni and the Daily Bruin.
The Daily Bruin Alumni Network is dedicated to supporting the Daily Bruin
and its thousands of alumni across the globe. In 2018, the UCLA Alumni
Association recognized the group as an affinity network at the DBAN's
first reunion on campus.
</p>
<h2>DBAN Project Teams</h2>
<p>
ALUMNI REUNIONS & EVENTS: Starting with our first reunion scheduled for
October 5, 2018, DBAN will convene each fall for annual meetings and
staff reunions. Other future events will include alumni panels for
student staffers and regional Daily Bruin events in partnership with the
UCLA Alumni Association.
Through robust networking, mentoring and fundraising, we hope to build the
Daily Bruin Alumni Network to support our fellow alumni and The Bruin.
Please see the areas below that we are focusing on in the 2018-19 year.
</p>
<p>
SCHOLARSHIPS & FUNDRAISING: This team will study the funding needs of
The Bruin, implement fundraising strategies, and advise on the
administration of the Daily Bruin Support Fund (#63355O), an official
UCLA Foundation fund created to enhance the news-gathering capabilities
of The Bruin and to build a scholarship for DB staffers doing journalism
of global reach and impact.
To get involved in any of these committees, please <Link to="/contact/">

<h2>COMMITTEES AND PROJECTS</h2>
<h3>MEMBERSHIP & NETWORKING</h3>
<p>
ALUMNI MENTORING PROGRAM: Due to declining revenue and budget cuts, a
number of full time staff positions in support of The Bruin were
eliminated over the past decade plus, including the full-time
faculty-level advisor. This team will look into alumni mentorship
programs, and new ways to provide Pro Bono advising and career
development for the student-journalists.
There are over 2,000+ UCLA alumni with known ties to the Daily Bruin,
but we need help getting them to join the Daily Bruin Alumni Network.
This committee will work with the UCLA Alumni Association to bring more
of our fellow alumni home, creating a comprehensive alumni directory and
helping foster alumni connections through regional meet-ups and outreach.
With a better understanding of our own alumni base and expertise contained
therein, this group will work closely with the Mentoring team to connect
students with alumni in various professions and with the Daily Bruin's
student alumni director on newsletters, website updates and social media.
</p>
<h3>EVENTS & #DB100</h3>
<p>
THE BRUIN NEWS LITERACY PROJECT: A free and independent press is
critical to a democracy. As a way of giving back to the community, we
would like to encourage our student-journalists to engage the Los
Angeles community and schools in teaching news literacy and the
importance of the free press.
Partnering with the UCLA Alumni Association and the Daily Bruin staff, this
committee will plan and host the Daily Bruin's 100th birthday celebration
in the 2019-2020 centennial academic year of UCLA. Committee members will
develop daytime panels and workshops for students and alumni, along with dinner
speakers and presenters. They will promote the event and recruit corporate
partners to help subsidize and scale up the centennial celebration. This
committee will also help lead nominations and awarding of the DBAN
Distinguished Alumni Award.
</p>
<h3>SCHOLARSHIPS & FUNDRAISING</h3>
<p>
ALUMNI DIRECTORY & NETWORKING: The DB alumni is an incredibly diverse
and accomplished group thriving in business, the law, government,
academia, tech, entertainment, and of course journalism. Become a class
captain and help us bring our fellow alumni home and together.
By the #DB100 Celebration, we aim to raise $20,000 for urgent equipment replacement
needs at The Bruin ($10,000 alumni gift) and the first awards of the Daily Bruin
Alumni Scholarship for students pursuing careers in journalism at The Bruin (four
scholarships of $2,500 each). This committee will develop processes and administer
the scholarship, including applications and interviews. It will cultivate donors and
generate leads for possible contributions. With our partners at the UCLA Development
Office and Student Support Initiative Office, members will study and develop a long-term
DBAN alumni scholarship endowment.
