Planning for the year ahead, together. 💙💛

The CSUB Alumni Association Board came together for its annual retreat to connect, collaborate and identify meaningful ways alumni can help advance the university’s priorities.

From increasing alumni philanthropy and supporting student career advancement to strengthening alumni engagement and our Alumni Association, the day was centered on one question: How can we make an even greater impact for CSUB, our students and our community?

We’re excited for what’s ahead as we continue advancing CSUB through alumni engagement. 🤙
