MISSION STATEMENT

"My goal as the first Entertainment and Arts Alumni Network representative at Cal State LA is primarily to raise awareness of this new position and network. I plan to initiate contacts and foster ongoing relationships between the alumni association and the student body from the arts and entertainment fields. To do so, I will be publicizing the alumni association’s programs and benefits to graduates, current students, and faculty members. Specifically, I will be organizing an entertainment and arts focused event thru the alumni association. I will also be reaching out for input from the CSULA and the surrounding communities to provide input for future events."
