  "Empowering Retirees, Connecting Generations" 

  

  Join us for the official launch of our new Digital Literacy Program, where student volunteers will help older adults gain confidence using today’s technology.

  Due to popular demand and the busy schedules of our students, we have switched to a rolling enrollment model.
  

  This exciting intergenerational initiative bridges the digital divide by pairing tech-savvy students with seniors eager to learn how to use smartphones, tablets, email, Zoom, social media, and even in-car technology like Apple CarPlay.

  Office 1116 at Rolfe Hall is located on the south campus of UCLA (behind Royce Hall).

  What to Expect:

  • Meet-and-greet with student volunteers & senior learners

  • Live tech demonstrations

  • Sign-up stations for one-on-one tech help

  • Opportunity to join the program as a volunteer or participant

  ERRC Bruin Legacy Tour: "UCLA Botanical Gardens"

  
  

  Experience the beauty of fall at the Mildred E. Mathias Botanical Garden on Monday, November 18 at 11:00am. This one-hour guided tour will take you through a lush, 7-acre living museum featuring plant species from around the world, right in the heart of UCLA. Led by knowledgeable Garden Guides, the tour will highlight seasonal blooms such as camellias, chrysanthemums, Mexican marigolds, and the striking white silk floss tree. 

  The UCLA Mathias Botanical Garden acknowledges the Gabrielino/Tongva peoples as the traditional land caretakers of Tovaangar (the Los Angeles basin and So. Channel Islands). As a promoter of nature at a California land grant institution, we pay our respects to the Honuukvetam (Ancestors), ‘Ahiihirom (Elders) and ‘Eyoohiinkem (our relatives/relations) past, present and emerging.

  The Broad Museum in downtown Los Angeles one of our city's gems. Filled with contemporary art from the collection of the late Eli Broad, the building is an architectural marvel and the works inside include artists such as Jeff Koons, Jean-Michel Basquiat, Jasper Johns and other well known contemporary artists. But the Broads also collected artists just beginning their journeys. Eli had a keen eye and there are quite a few surprises in the collection. We will look at highlights of the collection and also focus on the structure itself. You'll also learn a bit about Eli Broad, the son of Lithuanian immigrants who parlayed $12,500 into billions.

  Rodolfo is a struggling poet burning his manuscripts to keep out the winter chill. Mimi is a fellow tenant with big dreams and a deadly illness. A chance meeting has them falling in love, but when you’re at the bottom of Parisian society, every day could be your last.

  Puccini’s blockbuster opera, "La Boheme," returns to our stage starring Janai Brugger as the sweet but suffering Mimi and Oreste Cosimo as the lovestruck Rodolfo, with Gihoon Kim and Erica Petrocelli as the on-again-off-again lovers Marcello and Musetta. Resident Conductor Lina González-Granados leads Puccini’s transcendent score, awash in lavish Romanticism and gorgeous melodies. Director Brenna Corner helms a timeless production from Herbert Ross that the LA Times calls a “warm, nostalgic evocation of Paris in Puccini’s time.”
