2. IVP OFFICE ACCOMPLISHMENTS:
1. Develop Mobile Panic Button Application and Promote Safety
Resources
Circle of 6u
After researching different safety application models and speaking with administration and
campus entities, we learned that we needed to find a safety app that is both affordable and
flexible in use. Circle of 6 is perfect because it does not require UCPD to take up different
technology and services (which they are unwilling to do), but instead Circle of 6 complements
the efforts of UCPD. Circle of 6 aims to centralize all emergency communication efforts needed
as well as resources that specifically cater to UCLA students. This is one of the most financially
sound investments, requiring a one time payment of a reasonable fee in order to allow all
students, faculty, staff, administration, and those a part of the UCLA community to use this tool.
In addition, Circle of 6 has been endorsed by the White House and is currently in use in over 32
countries. Because of our work specifically with Circle of 6 thus far, UCLA IVP and SWC were
invited to the White House to speak and present about sexual assault prevention to the White
House Task Force to Protect Students from Sexual Assault created under President Obama.
Students often who experience sexual assault don’t feel comfortable enough to approach the
police or other authority entities – they often go to friends or people they trust. Circle of 6
supports that means of communication by allowing each person to choose 6 contacts in which
they feel are reliable and trustworthy enough to turn to in an event of such a sensitive topic.
Circle of 6 is more than just a safety app: it’s a community and a state of mind. It fosters the
formation of groups based on trust, and it connects users with organizations who have made
violence prevention their mission. We hope that the app becomes a vehicle for a social
movement that champions safe and healthy relationships. Additionally, developers will provide
us with the institutional and organized support by coming to UCLA to host workshops on how to
effectively use this tool, as well as teach Resident Assistants how to use the app in order for them
to effectively teach their residents how to use it. Additionally, we will integrate Circle of 6u into
New Student Orientation and have incoming students download it, as well as learn how to use it.
They will also provide marketing materials in order to education students about the issues of
sexual assault, which will additionally spur the conversation of this sensitive topic. Finally, the
developers have agreed to provide us with a simple document that details the usage of this
application. This can help us learn which features are being used most.
Extra features specific to UCLA:

3. a. The third feature will be used to report sexual assaults, once sexual assault reporting is
available online
b. There will be a “911” panic button at the top center of the app interface
c. There will be a click to call feature, where the 6 contacts can be phone called by clicking on
their specific name
d. Specific UCLA Resources included will be: CAPS, CSO, UCPD, Santa Monica Rape
Treatment Center
Additionally, the IVP Avi Oved was invited to the White House in April to present and speak
about heightening safety measures at a university level and how to overall promote the issue of
sexual assault prevention on college campuses. More specifically, the IVP presented about 7000
in Solidarity (along with the SWC) and the progress that was made in developing the first-ever
campus specific safety app with Circle of 6, and also highlighted how university administration
need to be proactive alongside student movements instead of being bystanders. The IVP served
on a think-tank data jam for sexual assault prevention on college campuses with activists,
faculty, and organizers from the Joyful Heart Foundation, Harvard, MIT, University of
Michigan, the White House Task Force to Prevent Students for Sexual Assault, the White House
Office of Science and Technology Policy, and the Office of the Vice President.

Campus Safety Alliance
USAC IVP convened the Campus Safety Alliance five
times in the Fall and Winter. The Alliance brought
together: USAC (IVP, FAC, SWC), Emergency Medical
Services, University of California Police Department,
Counseling and Psychological Services, Bruin Resource
Center, Office of Residential Life, Community Service
Officer, LGBT Center, IFC/PanHel, UCLA Recreation
and the Office of Emergency Management. Campus
Safety Alliance will convene again in Spring.
Campus Safety Day
USAC IVP spearheaded with the Campus Safety
Alliance in order to centralize and promote safety
resources on campus by programming Campus Safety
Day. Campus events from 10am-2pm included: a safety

4. resources fair in Bruin Plaza which included drunk driving awareness by Student Health
Advocates, UCPD resources such as robbery awareness campaigns and promotion of UCPD
Ride-Alongs, Diversity Workshops, and importance of calling 911, as well as an emergency
vehicles showcase (including CSO Van, Police Car, Emergency Medical Services Van, Fire
Truck) in Bruin Plaza and Wilson Plaza. In Dickson Court, we promoted student wellness
resources including health and wellness programs and 7000 in Solidarity, as well as CAPS and
their respective services. Finally, there were self-defense trainings in Wilson Plaza held by Paul
McCarthey from UCLA Recreation. Evening Hill events included: shooter safety and self
defense training workshops by UCPD and UCLA Recreation, Allyship Workshop trainings by
the LGBT Center, and finally a CAPS presentation/workshop all in Carnesale Commons.
Campus Safety Walk
Working with the USAC Facilities Commission and
Campus Safety Alliance to facilitate a Campus
Safety Walk which would include having UCLA
administration, Westwood Neighborhood Council
representatives, safety entities as well as student
leaders to walk around campus and external
neighboring areas to highlight the safety issues there
are. This would pressure UCLA administration and
safety entities to see first-hand the safety issues that
students see that need to be resolved.
We are looking to program this Week 5 of Spring
quarter.
2. Enhance Transparency of USAC & Student Fees
Resolution Reform Feature + update of resolutions
Before this year, resolutions were uploaded to the USAC website if only it was passed by USAC.
Additionally, not only were resolutions not updated/uploaded in a timely manner, but there was
no other platform to voice an opinion or concern about an issue other than public comment.
We created the USAC Resolution Reform Feature on the USAC website as a convenient way for
students to provide feedback on resolutions, as well as provide specific concerns/issues they
might have with it and additionally whether they agree/disagree with it. This year resolutions
have been uploaded to the USAC website 5 days before an actual vote would take place, giving
students time to not only read the text but allowing them the opportunity to share how they wish
to reform the text as well. This also promoted visibility of USAC resolutions.

5. This was accomplished over summer justin time for use before the very first resolution, 2013 - A
Resolution Calling for the End of the Use of the Term Illegal, was brought to council.
Over 100 students have used this tool to express their opinion and stance on resolutions.
Link: https://www.usac.ucla.edu/documents/resolutions.php
USACLive!
USAC IVP spearheaded the initiative to live-stream the USAC’s weekly Tuesday meetings. In
the summer, our staff reached out to other associations around the country who live streamed
their Senate meetings in order to gain feedback regarding the implementation of such a project at
UCLA. After speaking with representatives from Texas A&M and University of Florida, IVP
first presented to USAC in the Fall and began to gain feedback from councilmembers. In the
winter quarter, IVP obtained a film permit, drafted and passed the first ever USACLive!
guidelines and obtained funding for a camera and tripod to Live-Stream meetings, paving the
way for more transparent and visible USAC. IVP has began USACLive! as of April 8th, 2014.
We also want to give a special thanks to the Daily Bruin for working with IVP in applying
pressure to stream USAC meetings more freely.
This quarter, we are working on the institutionalization of the initiative. We have created a stand-
alone YouTube channel to pass along the login information from year to year, as well as to

6. centralize all future USACLive! videos in a single channel to make it easier for students to find.
We are also meeting with administration to gain funding for a student to be the point person of
the live stream (similar to the USAC Minutetaker). Finally, we are in the process of drafting
bylaws to codify the USACLive! guidelines for future councils.
Mid-Year Budget Report
IVP compiled the first-ever USAC Mid-Year Budget Report to increase the transparency and
accountability of USAC offices. IVP began this initiative in the fall quarter, during which our
staff attempted to set up meetings with USAC Councilmembers to allow them to disclose the
purpose of the funds utilized according to the Student Government Accounting (SGA). The goal
of these interviews were to gain information that would then be displayed alongside the line
items in the SGA report. After concerns of slate bias, IVP staff ceased to conduct the interviews.
The Budget Review Director, Jacob Ashendorf, took over the interview process and finally
finished the interviews in the Winter Quarter. He then gave over that information which was
used to compile the first-ever Mid-Year Budget Review. The review, which contains a series of
easy to read infographics, was then released at the end of the Winter Quarter.

7. IVP How To Guide
The IVP How To Guide is a staple office initiative that
has been completely updated and revamped this year.
This is a resource manual for student groups detailing
the steps of registering a campus organization, outlining
the different funding options (operational,
programming), providing key contacts for student
groups of administration, ASUCLA staff, and Student
Organization Leadership Engagement advisors. The
manual also details the different means a student group
can publicize themselves, including the use of
ASUCLA Creative Services, as well as steps to
publicizing events in the Daily Bruin, on the Hill, and
on campus with respective contacts included.
The How To Guide most notably breaks down 17
different programming funds as well as one operational fund available (SOOF) and details the
specific line items that can be applied for, the deadline for applications, the ranges of allocations,
and the contact information for respective funds. Additionally, the guide details how to use the
allocations once they are made by detailing how to fill out requisition forms and the different
steps to obtain the funding once allocated, as well as how to provide proof of documents to
Student Government Accounting.
Currently, the IVP Office has distributed the How To Guide via our Student Group Liaisons, as
well as different resource fairs, and it is available to download immediately on the main page of
the USAC website. SOLE has also distributed the link of the How To Guide through their list
serve that reaches all 1000 plus organizations.

Agendas + update of agendas
Before this year, agendas were uploaded to the USAC website after USAC meetings would take
place. Additionally, not only were were agendas not updated/uploaded in a timely manner, but
there was structure or expectations of agendas.
This year, IVP implemented the structure of the USAC Bylaws by enforcing a Thursday 5pm
deadline to submit items to the agenda. Additionally, language and text (if applies for example a
resolution) needed to be submitted along with a request to add an agenda item. The agendas were

8. uploaded to the USAC website 5 days before a USAC meeting would actually take place so that
students can learn beforehand what USAC would discuss.
Link: https://www.usac.ucla.edu/documents/agendas.php
Leadership Summit
USAC IVP co-programmed with General
Representative 2 Office, along with the On-Campus
Housing Council, International Student Association,
and Global Connections Council, a Leadership
Summit. This was an opportunity for each respective
council to meet with each other and encourage co-
programming and unified efforts towards being a
more representative body. Before each council had
their 7pm Tuesday meeting at once, there was a mixer
an hour prior where students had the opportunity to
personally meet everyone on the councils and have a
more intimate conversation about the work they do.
This was hosted in Covel Commons in an effort to
increase USAC visibility and transparency by having
a USAC tour (having meetings outside of Kerckhoff
417), in addition to collaborating with other councils.
USAC Town Hall + bylaw
amendment
On December 2nd USAC
IVP hosted a Town Hall
(the only town hall of the
year) to discuss the
pressing issues of the
USAC Stipend Increase,
Resolutions and the
Appointment Process.
Nearly 50 Students
attended the town hall
which was facilitated by
three members of the
USAC IVP Staff. Members
of the audience also
included current USAC
councilmembers who were

9. able to reply directly to student questions about their current policies and decisions they have
made.
One of the main takeaways from the town hall was the need to ensure that USAC bylaws prevent
future councils from raising their own stipends (as had happened in the summer quarter).
Following the townhall, IVP spearheaded the drafting and passing of a bylaw amendment
restricting council’s ability to increase their own stipends. Now included in the Financial Policies
of the USAC bylaws is “i. No policy, varying the compensation for the services of Council
members, shall take effect until an election of council shall have intervened.”
SOOF Campaigns
USAC IVP led two
campaigns this year to
promote the visibility of the
Student Organization
Operational Fund, a typically
underutilized fund in USAC.
Thanks to the work of FSC
and IVP Staff, we are proud
to announce that the number
of applications to SOOF for
Fall 2013 were 33% higher
than in Fall 2012. IVP also
led a similar campaign at the
beginning of Winter Quarter
to ensure that student groups
who had not had the chance
to apply in the Fall applied
in the Winter.
Apply for USAC
IVP coordinated with
the Office of the
President a timeline for
all USAC offices to
promote the opening of
their office
applications. IVP used
the services of the ASUCLA Creative Services to create a marketing campaign surrounding the
opening of office applications to USAC.

10. Student Group Liaisons
The student group liaison program is a
committee that began 4 years ago in the
Internal Vice President's Office to serve the
needs of all student groups on campus. This
year the committee has reached out to 606
student groups and met with over 100 of
those groups in person.
This year we have worked on:
1. Creating targeted emails to different communities of student groups with relevant resources
2. Hosting programs/workshops on issues affecting student groups such as:
A. Teaching groups to integrate sustainability into their events
B. Bringing together student groups connected to health and wellness
3. Rewrote the USAC Bylaws on student group outreach to make sure that different USAC
Offices are working effectively: Student Group Outreach Committee
4. Organized the involvement of over 130 student organizations in the Spring Activities Fair
5. Created a stronger relationship with the Student Organization Liaisons Program by
establishing a training program for Student Group Liaisons in SOLE.
IVP Fellowship
The IVP Fellowship was designed to foster
leadership skills that encourages critical
thinking, service, proactivity, and conscious-
minded advocacy. Fellows gained first-hand
experience in executing campus-wide
programs, effectively navigated millions of
dollars of funding available to student groups
at UCLA, clearly articulated oneself through
public speech and debate, and so much more.
During the fall and winter quarters weekly
Fellow meetings were held. The curriculum

11. included, but was not limited to:
● An introductory, in-detail overview of the intricacies of IVP & USAC.
● Goal setting and achievement.
● Personal branding.
● Council meeting visit followed by officer visits during that week's Fellowship meeting.
● Programming workshop.
● Funding workshop.
● Public speaking lessons and preparation.
● Debates between fellows on issues related to student life on campus.
● The planning and presentation of programs. (planning and execution).
During the winter and spring quarters, Fellows were incorporated into the office and placed on
different committees (either as staff or in director positions) based on passions, interests, and
preferences. Fellows played an integral role in the planning, advertising for, and execution of
different IVP initiatives and programs throughout these past two quarters.
Total number of Fellows in the program: 20.
Number of specific Fellowship meetings held to date: 14.
Number of IVP office meetings attended by Fellows: 12.
Number of IVP office meetings remaining for Fellows to attend: 4.
SOLE Workshops
In conjunction with Student Organization
Leadership Engagement, USAC IVP hosts
SOLE Workshops that cover essential topics that
teach student groups how to utilize their
resources at UCLA and key tips to run a
successful organization. Every quarter this year,
IVP has hosted workshops that have dealt with a
wide variety of topics that are very much
relevant to student groups. On average, nearly
60 students attend each workshops,
representative of almost 60 different student
groups.

12. 3. Institutionalize Student Group Marketing/Design Team
ASUCLA Creative
Services
One of the biggest issues
student groups face is
marketing and branding
themselves. This directly
affects the retention of
student groups. This is
why IVP created the first-
ever professional
marketing service for
student groups that allows
them to market and brand
themselves to the entire
UCLA community.
ASUCLA Creative
Services is a new student
resource that allows
registered student groups
who have been allotted
USAC funding to request
marketing materials from
ASUCLA Creative
Services to promote their
events. Services include
graphic design for logos,
flyers, signage, banners,
digital ads, stickers and buttons, as well as printing and mounting services.
This service has been institutionalized Fall quarter and is now open for all registered campus
organizations. There have been student groups who have already used these services, including
CARE SOS.

13. 4. Spring Activities Fair
Spring Activities Fair
On April 3rd 2014, USAC
IVP hosted the first - ever
Spring Activities Fair. More
than 130 student groups and
other campus departments
filled Bruin and Wilson
Plazas Thursday to showcase
their organizations. SAF ran
from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. and
featured student group
performances and food sales
(for fundraising). For
example, NSU Modern
performed a dance routine and
Indus sold samosas to
fundraise for their
organization.
Though the Campus Events
Commission and the Cultural
Affairs Commission put on an
activities fair during fall quarter, the Internal Vice President’s Office decided to hold another
event during spring so student groups formed later in the school year could also participate. In
addition this gave new student organizations the opportunity to recruit members at the fair and
for students to learn about the different groups they can join. SAF was considered an
extraordinary success. Over 1000 students participated in the Fair. IVP has already been
contacted by corporate sponsors looking to get involved in the event for 2015.
This event is a platform for student groups to showcase their project and initiatives and recruit
members, while this allows students to have another opportunity to get re-engaged in student life.
In addition to the How To Guide and the ASUCLA Creative Services, this event aims to increase
student group retention rates by giving them the resources and platforms they need to exist and
grow on campus.

14. Programming Events
Transfer Resource Fair +
Transfer Bruin-Pride Week
January 21st to the 24th was
Bruin Transfer Pride Week.
The week long initiative is
designed to promote transfer
visibility, provide resources to
transfers, start a dialogue about
the unique issues transfers face
on this campus and how we as a
community can combat them,
and to celebrate the success of
transfers. There were many
entities involved in the
programming of this event
including, the Bruin Resource
Center, transfer student groups,
ORL, and USAC IVP.
IVP hosted a transfer resource fair and misconceptions panel. The fair showcased resources
available to transfer students from entities such as the Career Center, Financial Aid, CAAPS DC
Program, IEO Study Abroad, CAPS Counseling Services, as well as transfer-specific student
groups.
The misconceptions panel was designed to combat stereotypes transfers face on this campus and
to start a dialogue as to how we as a campus can work to get rid of those stereotypes.

16. Transfer Appreciation Day
USAC IVP, CPC, and Transfer
Student Alliance aim to program
Transfer Appreciation Day on May
1st. Throughout the event, we want
to centralize key resources and
tools for transfer students so that it
is most accessible to them, and also
increase visibility of transfer pride
at UCLA. For example, the day
portion of the event includes
handing out transfer promotion
items such as buttons, stickers, t-
shirts, pens, and balloons at various
locations on campus. The night-time portion is particularly helpful and significant as it includes
workshops developed from the Career Center, Bruin Resource Center, and Community Programs
Office. This is also an opportunity for networking. There will be a keynote speaker, either
Chancellor Gene Block or Vice Chancellor of Student Affairs Janina Montero. The workshops
promote topics of academic achievement, leadership skills, networking opportunities, and career
development.
Ally Week
Ally Week is a week-
long initiative that
seeks to reach out to
the entire UCLA
community in an
effort to spread
awareness, education,
and information
about the Lesbian,
Gay, Bisexual,
Transgender, and
Queer communities
and what it means to
support the LGBTQ
community. Each of
Ally Week’s events
and programs is
heavily focused on introducing students to the information and tools necessary to actively
participate as an “ally” to members of the LGBTQ community. We hope that all participants
leave Ally Week with a better understanding of their fellow Bruins and a will to support and
ultimately love all members of our campus community.

17. The Ally Week mission is multi-faceted, addressing issues specific to UCLA and making a
public testament to the world of UCLA’s commitment to inclusivity, support, and ultimately
love. This initiative is educational in nature, and each day will focus on informing the student
body about a particular theme and hard to reach community. This year we are focusing on the
steps one can take to become an ally, while noting that allyship is a life long learning process.
The themes from Monday to Friday are: Recognize, Educate, Question/Listen, Support, and
Initiate Change/Celebrate.
During Week 3, CEC will host Chris Kluwe, formerly a part of the Seattle Seahawks, as a
speaker. Kluwe openly supported the LGBTQ community and consequently was forced to resign
from the Seattle Seahawks football team. He is coming to speak about his experience as an ally
and as an athlete. Also during Week 3, CAC will host an Ally Week themed Word on
Wednesday, where individuals are invited to express themselves through the art of spoken word.
On Monday afternoon, there will be a hand mural project and photoshoot in De Neve Plaza. In
Bruin Plaza, we will be selling T-shirts to raise money for Lavender Graduation. The hand mural
project is headed by the DLP fraternity. The t-shirt sale is the main source of funding for
LavGrad. We will also have stations in both locations for students to write
microaggressions/stereotypes used against the LGBT community on “bricks”. Later in the week,
we will be knocking down a brick wall of microaggressions. The brick project will be happening
throughout the week; we are co-programming with Gen Rep 2.
On Monday evening, ORL and IVP will be hosting a Genderbread workshop to deconstruct
notions of gender and sexuality. Following the genderbread workshop, Robyn Ochs and Tyler
Oakely will be speaking. Both of these events will be taking place in Carnesale Commons on the
hill.
On Tuesday we will be having Faculty Dinner Dialogues from 5-7PM in Covel. The Gender and
Sexuality Floor on the Hill will be hosting Board Games from 7-9PM (Acacia 3rd Floor) to
initiate dialogue amongst allies and the LGBTQ community. There will be a movie screening
and resource fair in Sunset Plaza.
On Wednesday, there will be a Q&A Misconceptions Panel from 6-8PM in Carnesale Commons.
There will also be a TransUp Dinner Event from 7:30-9PM in the Sproul Lecture Room.
On Thursday, there will be a social for the queer and ally communities from 4-6PM in the LGBT
Center called Spring Fling. There will also be a religion panel from 6-8PM in Carnesale
Commons.
On Friday, we will be hosting an art project but the details have yet to be finalized. We are
possibly looking into co-programming with Homelessness Awareness week as well because 40%
of all homeless youth are queer and we think it would be a powerful co-programming event.

18. CSSA Culture Night
IVP co-programmed the Chinese Student and
Scholar Association Culture Night on February
2nd which took place in Royce Hall. This was a
huge stepping stone for CSSA because this was
the very first time the student group had their
culture night in Royce. IVP helped the student
group navigate funding, as well as helped
promote the event via social media. Tickets to
the event were completely free and nearly a
thousand students were in attendance.
Dashew Center, ORL, CEC International
Comedy Show
IVP co-programmed with the Dashew Center
for International Students, Office of
Residential Life, and the USAC Campus
Events Commission to host the second
annual International Comedy Show. This
event brought world class comedians from
Trinidad, Korean, the United States, Australia, South Africa, India, and Mauritania to De Neve
Auditorium on February 28th where each native comedian had the opportunity to showcase their
culture and their humor. Afterwards, there was a meet and greet with the comedians to talk about
international comedy and their experiences with their international identities. This event hosted
over 300 students, international and domestic. We also obtained corporate sponsorships to raffle
off prizes such as Beats headphones and gift cards.

19. Off-Campus Living Fair
In January, IVP programmed the Off-Campus
Living Fair, which brought together landlords
and westwood apartment complex
representatives from nearly 60 complexes in the
Westwood area so that students can ease their
transition to off-campus living. Students had the
opportunity to meet and speak with apartment
complex representatives, look at blue prints and
pictures of apartments, learn about pricing
options, and begin their search for their new
home. We had representatives from UCLA
Legal Services to inform students about tenant
rights and what to look for (and be weary of)
when signing contracts and leases. Also, IVP
provided tips for students of what to keep in
mind when looking for apartments from
furniture to timelines to doing the appropriate research. Additionally, the USAC FSC provided
budgeting workshops and financial literacy tips at the event to help students manage their
finances when undertaking huge financial commitments.
The Off-Campus Living Fair received $6,000 in corporate sponsorships, which included cash to
pay for venue and logistical items as well as prizes such as Beats, iPad Mini’s, gift cards, and
other great giveaways. There was also catered food provided. This Off-Campus Living Fair
proved to be most successful with over 1,700 students in attendance.
