California Alumni Association

California magazine is published on a quarterly basis and mailed to all members of the association to keep alumni in touch with fellow members and with the university. The magazine provides members with university news items, topical issues, discoveries, and alumni events.

Alumni programming includes: member services and benefits, career networking and seminars, on- and off-campus special events, domestic and international study programs through cal discoveries travel, and participation in volunteer-led alumni chapters.

Caa administers a mentorship program and two scholarship programs created by cal alumni to enable students to engage with alumni: the leadership award (tla) and the achievement award program (taap). Programs and activities include the application review and selection of scholarship recipients; advising and program support for undergraduates, and an alumni mentorship program for first generation college students. Scholarship awards are distributed directly to recipients by the university financial aid office.
