Keeping You Informed

UCLARA Connections is the name of our newsletter: connecting retirees to each other and to the campus. We publish quarterly, in February, May, August and November. A PDF link is emailed to each member.

We are always looking for new material and article ideas. Please email your suggestions to Newsletter editor Toby Ann Cronin, care of UCLARA@ucla.edu.
