From move-in week’s exciting activities to many students’ first in-person learning experience, Bruins are transitioning into a new social setting after over a year of social distancing.

The pandemic may have distanced people from one another, but it also drew Bruins closer to nature.
Amid online learning and remote responsibilities, outdoor activities seem to be one solution in bettering self-care and mental wellness.

As remote learning comes to an end, Bruins all around the world are looking forward to finally setting foot on campus this fall.
COVID-19 delayed many international Bruins’ plans to travel to the United States and explore UCLA, but it also brought about positive experiences that made studying outside of the U.S.

This Week in the News serves as The Quad’s space for reflection on current events at and around UCLA. Every week, Daily Bruin staffers will analyze some of the most significant stories to keep readers up to speed.

At the end of every quarter, Bruins are asked to complete course evaluations for their professors and teaching assistants, and while the extra task may be an inconvenience to some students, the feedback is often cherished by professors.
