About Bruinsynaptogenesis

BruinSynaptoGenesis aims at building networks between Psychology students (and all related departmental majors) and professionals in all possible sectors the respective degree can be applied to. This includes, but is not limited to, collaborations with the fields of Law, Business, Academia, Non-Profit, Entertainment, Education, and Public Health. Our goal is to be the first organization at UCLA that fully exploits the potential of a Psychology degree (and related majors), which – in spite of being one of the most popular majors at UCLA (2,000+ students) – lacks an umbrella organization with ties to all fields. We bring in professionals and faculty for interactive sessions, collaborate with them for easier access to internships, and tie-up with clubs at UCLA to further expand these networks.
