UCLA Administration employees bring UCLA’s True Bruin Values to life every day through their commitment to integrity, excellence and belonging. Nominations are now open for the Administration True Bruin Values Awards, which recognize individuals and teams whose contributions make a meaningful impact across the UCLA community.

This fall, the program expands for the first time to include the new True Bruin Values Team Excellence Award, recognizing the power of collaboration in advancing UCLA’s mission. The award celebrates teams that have demonstrated exceptional results through innovative projects, operational improvements, outstanding service or collaborative problem-solving efforts.

Eligible teams must include three to 10 employees, with a majority of members from UCLA Administration.

Nominations also remain open for individual career staff members who exemplify UCLA’s True Bruin Values through exceptional contributions and service. Individual nominees must be employees in good standing with at least one year of UCLA service.

Nominations are open through Wednesday, Oct. 21, 2026.
