Undergraduate Research Center - Sciences
The Undergraduate Research Center for Sciences, Engineering and Mathematics and the Center for Academic and Research Excellence work collaboratively to serve UCLA's undergraduate science population. Through various programs the URC/CARE recruits, develops, and celebrates students involved in research. Our mission is to support and increase the retention of science majors in all disciplines, with some programs focused on students who face economic, familial, educational, social or other challenges.
Institute for Pure and Applied Mathematics
The Institute for Pure and Applied Mathematics (IPAM) seeks to bring the full range of mathematical techniques to bear on the great scientific challenges of our time. They sponsor programs that bring together researchers from different disciplines or from different areas of mathematics, with the goal of sparking interdisciplinary collaboration that continues long after the IPAM program ends. Supporting the careers of women and minority mathematicians and scientists is an important component of IPAM’s mission.

UCLA AISA
The mission of the American Indian Student Association (AISA) is to act as a support group both socially and academically for American Indian students, faculty, and staff. AISA has two main components:
American Indian Recruitment (AIR)- established with the ideals of promoting higher education and success in academics in the American Indian community. To successfully achieve such an ideal the AIR Program is dedicated towards the successful completion of high school for our student participants. The AIR Program, therefore, offers supplemental educational instruction through tutoring, mentoring, and various activities designed to achieve success within high school and higher education.
Retention of American Indians Now (RAIN) - RAIN's mission is to increase the graduation rates of all students at UCLA through peer counseling, mentorship, workshops, and wellness programming while facilitating academic empowerment, student empowerment, and holistic empowerment as a means to foster leadership on-campus and in the community.
