We Did It! Thank you!

November 13, 2025

Dear UCLA Samueli Community,

Thanks to YOU, we had our most successful Blue & Gold Challenge ever! We rallied 46 donors and raised $11,225 to support Engineering Student Projects, which provides vital resources that support all Bruin engineers — like us. 

Your generosity makes it possible for us to succeed as students and pursue our dreams as future professional engineers.

Thank you all again so much, and Go Bruins!

- Rama, Justin, and Sophia

THANK YOU SO MUCH!

November 07, 2025

Hi everyone! We’re thrilled to share that we’ve officially surpassed our goal of 40 donors for Engineering Student Projects! Thank you to everyone who has given so far. 

Your generosity and support mean so much to us, and will ensure that our student clubs and organizations will be able to build innovative projects and gain valuable experience outside the classroom. Your contribution helps students like us gain hands-on experience with an engineering student team, apply classroom knowledge to real-world problems, and see physical projects come to life over the course of an academic year.

Even though we've surpassed our goal — there's still 2 days left in the Challenge, so let's keep the momentum going and see how much more we can raise for Engineering Student Projects! If you're interested, please help us continue to spread the word by sharing our campaign with your friends, family, and fellow Bruin Engineers! https://crowdfunding.ucla.edu/engineeringstudentprojects

Once again, thank you all so much, and Go Bruins! 

- Rama, Justin, and Sophia
