The Alumni & Friends Association connects, engages, and celebrates alumni, students, and friends of CI while building lifelong relationships that support the future of our University.

Meet the Alumni & Friends Association Board. These are the individuals who volunteer many hours of their free time to help make the A&FA the valuable resource that it is. Their efforts as volunteers are what make many of our programs and events possible. Thank you for all that you do for CSU Channel Islands, its students, and alumni.
