About BruinLife
BruinLife is UCLA's culture and lifestyle publication. Since 1919, we have been telling the stories of student life as it actually happens — the music students are listening to, the food they're eating, the trends shaping campus, the identities they're navigating and the moments that make four years at UCLA unforgettable.
What started as UCLA's yearbook over a century ago has grown into a multi-platform publication: a culture and lifestyle website, a print magazine, an in-house photo and design studio, and yes, the yearbook that's been documenting Bruins since the beginning.
Who we're looking for
Writers with voice. Photographers with an eye. Designers who think in systems. Editors who care about craft. We hire interns at the start of each cycle — no prior experience required — and writers, contributors, and staff advance based on the work they produce and the standards of their section.
If you want to write about UCLA the way students actually experience it, build a portfolio that travels with you, and join a publication that's grown every year for the past several years — apply to BruinLife.

BruinLife Annual is UCLA's official yearbook — and has been part of the university's permanent record since 1919, when our predecessor Southern Campus began documenting student life. Each edition is purchased and archived by the Chancellor's office and the UCLA Library, preserving the work of our writers and photographers as part of UCLA's institutional history.
