The Los Angeles Alumni Network welcomes alumni, parents, and friends of UConn from Los Angeles and Orange Counties.
Number of Alumni: 2,500+
Attend local events, support students and fellow alumni, or simply share your UConn pride through networks that offer meaningful ways to stay involved. As part of your local alumni network, you’re not just participating — you’re leading. You serve as an ambassador for UConn’s spirit, values, and excellence in your region. We may no longer be students, but we are Huskies Forever.

Tips and Tricks for Navigating Los Angeles
- “Give yourself ample travel time – freeways can be crowded”
- “Take advantage of S. CA weather – lots to do outdoors”
- “Check traffic reports and learn back roads”
- “Explore your neighborhood! Los Angeles has so many awesome communities. Get to know the restaurants, coffee shops, and bars in your area. Also if you just want to drive around and explore the city do it on Sunday mornings between 7am – 9am. The roads are pretty clear so you can drive across town in under 20 minutes”
