UCLA students are called Bruins because the university adopted the bear as its mascot in 1927, symbolizing strength and determination. The name "Bruin" was chosen from the term used for a brown bear in an old English fable. The bear is not only representative of the school spirit but also reflects the school's commitment to excellence in academics and athletics. Over the years, the Bruin mascot has become a beloved symbol for the university community.
