Connect

Campus Connect
In this campus climate program, a yearly cohort of campus members complete a nine-month program designed to give participants a broad perspective of CSUSM and to create bridges between colleagues across divisions. Applications are accepted in March every year, with the program running August – May.  

CSUSM Alumni Association
Plug into the Alumni Association (currently 2,100 members strong) to foster lifelong Cougar pride, connect with other alumni, and attend Community Virtual Events.  

Within the Alumni Association, explore the Affinity Groups available to alumni, like COBA alumni, Latino, or MBA alumni.
