Network with the CSUCI Community on Dolphin Connect
Students, alumni, faculty, and staff are coming together to share career advice, find inspiration, and talk openly about the journey from college to career. Join Dolphin Connect, CI's online mentoring and networking community, and move your career forward.
Here's what one CSUCI grad had to say about Dolphin Connect:
“I think it’s a great resource that I would have benefited from as a CSUCI student. As a first generation college student, I often felt nervous and alone navigating through college. I imagine there are many other students in similar situations, and if I could be a resource to even one of them, that would be very meaningful to me. I see Dolphin Connect as a way to stay connected to the University and pay it forward.”
Sandy Sanchez, Affordable Housing Project Manager
Bachelor’s Degree in Political Science & Spanish, ‘13
