We're Here to Celebrate You!

We’re excited to honor the California State University, Los Angeles’ Half-Century Club, a distinguished group of more than 12,000 alumni who graduated from the school at least fifty years ago. These alumni have been foundational to the University through their philanthropy, engagement, and accomplishments. Each year, the University recognizes the class celebrating its 50th reunion with induction into the Half-Century Club. This year, we have the honor of inducting alumni from the class of 1972 as the newest members of this venerable group.
