 With
Thanksgiving around the corner, I would like to take
this opportunity to thank all of our loyal members and
volunteers. I appreciate your patronage and for
allowing the Alumni Association to be of service to you.
Since the start of our fiscal year in July, we have had
the honor of welcoming new Board members, committee
chairs, and volunteers to assist in fulfilling the
mission of the Alumni Association. Our committees have
been meeting regularly to plan important programs and
exciting events. We continue to expand our visibility
on campus and the community by attending and supporting
events and functions. Being visible within the
community allows us to meet, and re-connect with CSULA
alumni. It also provides us with an opportunity to
establish corporate partnerships with local businesses,
thereby securing valuable benefits for all of our
members.
The Alumni Association hosted the 38th Annual
Alumni Awards Gala last month to celebrate the
achievements of 9 alumni and 2 students of the
University. Through their professional and personal
endeavors in the arts, business, entertainment,
education, science and innovation, this year’s honorees
have brought much honor to the University.
The Alumni Speed Mentoring event that took place on
November 1st at Cal State L.A. was enormously
successful! This
fun and innovative program connected alumni
professionals with students and other alumni. The event
focused on
quick-hit information, time-efficient networking and the
methodical pursuit of a mentor. Through the Alumni
Mentoring Program, the Alumni Association strives to
positively influence the educational and professional
pursuits of our alumni and students. There are more than 500 participants enrolled in the program. If you
are not already part of this enriching program, I invite
you to get involved today!
I am also happy to share that the CSULA Alumni Student
Scholarship Applications are now available for both
undergraduate and graduate students of Cal State L.A.
Thanks to generous donations from Alumni Association
members, we are able to provide students with the much
needed financial help to achieve their educational
goals.
Now until
December 7th, the CSULA Alumni Association will be
participating in the
E.P.I.C. Food and
Toy Drive on campus. A donation box will be
at the Alumni Center and alumni can stop by to drop off
non-perishable goods and toys for low-income families in Los
Angeles. We are proud to support such a worthy cause.
On behalf of the CSULA Alumni Association Board of
Directors and our staff, I wish all of you a Happy
Thanksgiving and joyous holiday season!
With warmest wishes,
Carlos Illingworth ‘04
President, CSULA Alumni Association |

Well-dressed and looking to make a good
first impression, Cal State L.A.
students attended a recent match-making
event on campus hoping to find “the
one.” However, they weren’t on the hunt
for soul mates, they were looking to be
paired up with career advisors as part
of the CSULA Alumni Mentoring Program.
The mentoring program was started in
2008 as a way for alumni to share their
valuable work experience with current
students through discussions on
educational options, career choices,
goals and networking. Today, more than
500 people participate in the program.

Hailed as the “flamenco queen” by the New York Post, Latin Grammy-nominated artist Concha Buika makes her triumphant return to the U.S. Spanish songstress Buika is the daughter of political refugees from Equatorial Guinea and grew up in a Gypsy neighborhood on the Spanish island of Mallorca. For Buika, flamenco was an open door: “It’s not just about music, it’s a way of life. It’s about not running away from yourself. Some people sing about what they would like to happen or would like to be, but in the copla and el cante, we confront who we are, with all our fears and all our defects. In the United States there’s also a great tradition like this: it’s called the blues.” Creating a fusion with flamenco, jazz, soul, and dance rhythms, Buika has become an international sensation. “Her voice has an intensity and a power that’s hard to define,” says NPR. Buika’s voice is piercingly unique and echoes the rich and passionate influences of her upbringing. The New York Times calls her “luminous...magnificent...superb!” Media Partner: 89.9 KCRW

The New Yorker calls Punch Brothers “wide-ranging and restlessly imaginative.” Punch Brothers was formed in 2006 by mandolinist/singer Chris Thile with four other virtuosic musicians: fiddler Gabe Witcher, banjo player Noam Pikelny, bassist Paul Kowert, and guitarist Chris Eldridge. Their first Nonesuch record, Punch, was released in 2008 and combined elements of the band’s many musical interests, including indie rock, folk, jazz, bluegrass, and classical music. In 2009, they began a regular, standing-room-only residency in New York City; these shows ultimately spawned 2010’s Grammy-nominated Antifomatic, which was produced by Jon Brion. Their new album Who’s Feeling Young Now? was released to critical acclaim. Media Partner: 89.9 KCRW
