Dear Class of 2008,
As we reflect on our legal careers and education, we are reminded of the cherished memories and lifelong friendships that were cultivated while at UCLA Law. We consider ourselves part of a distinguished network of alumni colleagues who have made a positive impact across all areas of the legal field.
To commemorate this milestone, we excitedly look toward the future of our alma mater and the impact that we can make for the next generation of students at UCLA Law. Reunions provide us with the opportunity to give back and make a meaningful impact. With our collective support, we can open the doors of accessibility and opportunity for students of all backgrounds, invest in cutting-edge research by the world-renowned faculty, and ensure UCLA Law remains our country's premier public law school.
This year, each celebrating class is in a friendly competition to have the highest percentage of alumni attend reunion weekend and participate in raising critical funding for our school. In September and October, as our class ambassadors, we will be connecting with our classmates and being catalysts for the reunion class gift. Check our class page for weekly updates on our progress.
This year, our support matters more than ever, less than 15% of UCLA Law's total budget is provided by the State of California. By making an impactful gift to one of the following funds, you ensure UCLA Law's continued success.
As an alum, you know firsthand the power of the educational programs and experiences provided at UCLA Law. They shaped us into talented and ethical leaders in the profession. As we meet in this moment of reflection, we encourage you to make a meaningful contribution to empower the legal leaders of tomorrow!
In the coming months, your class ambassadors will share additional details, ways to get involved, and how you can make an impact during your milestone reunion. Please don't hesitate to reach us at reunions@law.ucla.edu.
Go Bruins!

Please click here to learn more about how the UCLA Foundation invests and manages its endowments.
Gifts are managed and invested in accordance with UCLA's endowment investment policies. The total return earned in excess of the amount approved annually for payout will be retained in the endowment principal to protect from the effects of inflation and to allow for growth. At the discretion of the appropriate campus office, when the payout is not needed for purposes of the fund, the return of payout may be added to the endowment fund principal.

Although the Endowment is intended to exist in perpetuity, unforeseen circumstances may alter or remove the subject area from the campus academic plan or it may become impossible, impracticable or wasteful to administer. In such an event, the Chancellor is authorized to redesignate the purpose of the Endowment, after taking into consideration the designated endowment purpose.
