Los Angeles, Calif., March 5, 2025 – Mardi Gras looked a bit different this year at Associated Students UCLA (ASUCLA), with the annual Services Expo kicking off the March 4 celebration. In attendance were campus collaborators and UCLA staff and faculty to explore all ASUCLA offers to the Bruin community — with beaded necklaces for all, of course.
ASUCLA Services Expo attendees were able to enjoy the diverse flavors of ASUCLA Catering’s premiere selection of chef-curated lunches and pastries, learn more about technology assistance from the UCLA Computer Store, to reserving meeting spaces in the historic Student Union buildings and much more.
“Thank you to all who stopped by to enjoy and learn about ASUCLA hospitality,” said Pouria Abbassi, ASUCLA executive director and CEO. “Our teams are excited to serve departments across UCLA after yet another outstanding Services Expo.”

Beginning as an ASUCLA Catering open-house tasting, the ASUCLA Services Expo has expanded to include all ASUCLA Student-Run Enterprises since May 2018. Services provided by ASUCLA Student-Run Enterprises, available to the campus community include:
