The Alumni Association is proud to provide the Cal State LA Alumni Mentoring Program, which officially launched in 2009.  The mission of the Alumni Mentoring Program is to empower the Cal State LA community through mentorship between alumni and students.  The program provides alumni-to-alumni networking as well as the opportunity to coach current students and recent graduates on professional development, career options, goal setting, and more.

The Engineering, Computer Science, and Technology (ECST) Alumni Network is a professional network that serves as a platform for fellow graduates and industry peers to engage as a community and build fellowship. We connect for social, educational, and career development activities that create lifelong relationships, opportunities, and partnerships.
