You wouldn’t know by the looks of our young and energetic staff, but BruinLife is one of the oldest student-run publications on campus, dating back to UCLA’s first year in 1919! And we’re committed to preserving UCLA’s rich history and tradition for the next 90-plus years.
BruinLife consists of a very enthusiastic and diverse group of students. We work hard every day of the year from our corner office in Kerckhoff Hall to bring you one of the best student publications in the country – BruinLife Yearbook!
Our team is divided into five staffs, each with its own set of responsibilities and goals. We offer internships in each of our staffs and take applicants at the beginning of each quarter. If you’re interested in joining any of the following staffs and have a passion for excellence and creativity, we encourage you to apply!
Layout
Layout Staff is responsible for page design using software such as Adobe InDesign and Photoshop. Staff members handle strict deadlines to ensure each article and photograph integrate with page spreads and contribute to overall book consistency.
Copy
As journalists, copy writers cover the many events and happenings during the school year. The copy staff documents many of the important campus happenings, including sports, groups, traditions and world events.
Photography
BruinLife’s photographers shoot thousands of high-quality photos throughout the year to add to the visual appeal of the yearbook. Their work entails aspects of both photojournalism and stock photography. Together, the staff contributes heavily to the all-color book’s attractive illustrative design.
Marketing & Business
The Business & Marketing Staff is responsible for all advertising, business, and sales related to the yearbook. Staff members design flyers and advertisements, as well as run the BruinLife website and conduct business agreements with other groups on campus. Marketing is also responsible for yearbook sales, parent dedications, customer service, and end-of-year distribution.
