Once UCLA’s academic year begins, students will populate campus again, frequenting campus cafes and student stores for their day-to-day needs. Though they will see less traffic, campus services remain open over the summer, staffed by UCLA students. 

Daily Bruin photojournalist Amelia Chief visited four of these locations to speak with student employees about what their job is like in the sunny season.
