UCLA's student population quickly outpaces the capacity of its home on Vermont Avenue. In search of a campus to accommodate over 6,000 students, 600 Lab School (then University Elementary School) attendees, and 250 educators, the Regents consider 17 locations ranging from San Diego to Santa Barbara. Angelenos come together to ensure the university stays in Los Angeles.

The streets of Westwood Village are lined with students, alumni, professors, and community members as the first Homecoming parade establishes traditions that are revered and added to for years to come.

It's a significant stride toward UCLA's independence from the Berkeley campus.

The corridors of Royce Hall are graced by innumerable brilliant minds over its storied life, one of the most notable being Albert Einstein, who delivers a lecture about his Theory of Relativity there in February of 1932.

In 1924, students adopt the term 'Grizzlies' as the university monicker. Two years later, a new mascot is adopted to avoid a conflict with the NCAA and the University of Montana Grizzlies. The Regents rename the Southern Branch to University of California at Los Angeles.

Today's service projects involve more than 8,000 students and faculty members and the impact is spread across the entire city of Los Angeles.

UCLA's Electron Losses and Fields Investigation (ELFIN) mission is a space weather mission using three scientific instruments in a 3U+ CubeSat form factor. The first of its type, ELFIN has provided for breakthroughs in our understanding of relativistic "killer" electrons through pitch angle resolved energetic particle measurements. Additionally, ELFIN-L, launched in 2016 is a collaboration between UCLA and Moscow State University.

UCLA reopens the hospital in a brand new 10-story building, rebranding it as the Ronald Reagan Medical Center. It's equipped with state of the art equipment and is designed to help patients heal more effectively.
