complete the jobs training program. We are also in partnership with the
Westside Food Bank to help provide food for
homeless veterans."
April 27 - Shea Pitts
Born
in Beverly Hills, Shea Pitts decided to attend UCLA because his mom and dad both
attended and it is in a location that sets him up best for success in his major.

loss, causing a fumble, and recovering the fumble all in the same play.
His dad and grandpa both played in the NFL for the Packers; his dad played
football (defensive back) at UCLA (1981-84) for coach Terry Donahue and was a
member of Bruin teams which played in the Rose Bowl following the 1982 and 1983
