Jorge Ramirez ’04
There are many reasons to be proud of Cal State L.A: our award-winning faculty, scientists, scholars and artists educate one of the nation’s most diverse and dynamic student bodies. The University continues to further a unique and important tradition of graduating first-generation college students. And today, more than 215,000 graduates work throughout Southern California as civic leaders, teachers, business entrepreneurs, engineers, health care and criminal justice professionals.
It’s an honor to represent each and every one of you!
For the past two years, I have had the privilege of leading a group of dedicated volunteers who work tirelessly to promote and strengthen the Cal State L.A. community. As president of the Alumni Association, I have watched the organization develop innovative programs and services, adapting to member’s needs. From the mentoring and scholarship programs, to Alumni Networks and career workshops, the Association provides valuable resources that aid alumni in their personal and professional growth.
To maintain this momentum forward, we need your support! Even after my tenure ends, I promise to continue to support the Association’s growth and I hope you will join me

Thousands of graduates from the class of 2011 attended, recorded video messages to be played during Commencement, took their yearbook photos, and picked up their exclusive GRADPACK 2011 Â a special membership package offered by the CSULA Alumni Association that includes multi-year memberships and discounts.
The Alumni Association celebrated another record-breaking year, selling nearly 1,100 GRADPACKS! We welcome our newest members to the Alumni Association network.
