VOLUNTEER - Program and Event Volunteers

Career Network volunteers agree to be available as an informational network contact for Alumni Association members and students. Volunteers may be current students, faculty, staff, alumni and friends. Career Network volunteers may be asked to talk about current or past jobs, provide general advice, and critique resumes, but are under no obligation to help networkers find specific career opportunities - help is of a more information and general nature.

ALUMNI AMBASSADORS FOR HIGHER EDUCATION - ongoing

Everyone who lives and works in California has a stake in maintaining a strong and accessible California State University system. That's because the CSU educates 10% of the state's workforce - including a majority of our teachers, computer scientists, engineers and business graduates. With three million newly created jobs expected over the next five years, California's thriving economy is dependent on quality graduates from the world's largest system of public higher education - the CSU.

The Cal State L.A. Alumni Association has formed a special group to help promote public support for CSU through Alumni Ambassadors for Higher Education. Alumni Ambassadors is a network of Alumni Association members who have volunteered to be campus advocates. Ambassadors are asked to periodically contact their state legislators when the University's budget is under consideration, new construction is being proposed or support for student and faculty interests is needed. Ambassadors may meet with elected officials when they visit campus. You'll even be kept up-to-date on current happenings in the State Legislature through a special insider's report sent to you four times a year.

Contact the Alumni Office at (323) 343-ALUM got more information.
