Westwood

Some 6,500 new students packed into Pauley Sunday for the welcome, learned the all-important eight-clap and found out what a Westwood block party is all about.

Broxton Avenue played host to a rollicking block party as UCLA kicked off its new community-building event series.

The monthly program aims to revitalize the historic link between the campus and the neighborhood.

The annual event brings students into the neighboring village, forging a connection that lasts throughout their time as Bruins.

The relocation, which is the first step in a two-step process, began June 26 and is scheduled to be completed on July 13.

Starting April 30, late-evening and early morning UCLA commuters should brace for street work around Wilshire and Westwood boulevards.

Los Angeles police said they are investigating the death near campus as a potential homicide.

The deans of the UCLA School of Nursing and the David Geffen School of Medicine write in an op-ed that making Westwood Boulevard more bike-and pedestrian-friendly would improve air quality, safety and business.

Campus visitors, students, faculty and staff should allow extra time when traveling to and from UCLA today and Friday because of street closures and possible traffic congestion.

UCLA police arrested a suspect in connection with two armed robberies of students reported this afternoon off campus in Westwood Village.
