Alumni

Students who have graduated from CSUCI should consider joining our Alumni and Friends Foundation , which provides students with a way to stay active and involved in the continuing development of programs at CSUCI:

" The mission of the California State University Channel Islands Alumni & Friends Association is to create tradition, foster loyalty, and enhance relationships among University students, alumni, faculty, staff, and friends ".

In addition to having a network with other alums, alumni who join the foundation have continuing access to library privileges.

Graduates from our program are encouraged to contact the English Support Coordinator to update us on your activities now that you've graduated-we'd like to let our current students and faculty know what our graduates are doing!

Check back periodically for updates on alumni from the English Program and also for news about the English Program Alumni Association, currently underway.

We invite our alumni to return to events throughout the year! Many students, former students, and community members attended the Gary Soto reading this February.
