Letter from the Executive Director

Dear Alumni and Friends,

The Cal Alumni Association (CAA) has a lot to celebrate this year—not least is our 145th birthday! With each year, we rededicate ourselves to our mission to connect Cal alumni with one another and with our beloved university. CAA is about being a part of a great and enduring community, ensuring the future while honoring the past and engaging the present.

Director’s Chair: Spring 2017

Last November, I hosted a Cal Discoveries Travel group to South Africa. I stood with other Cal alumni and friends before Nelson Mandela’s prison cell on Robben Island, where together we learned about the struggles, pain, and—yes—reconciliation of apartheid.

Director’s Chair: Winter 2016

As 2016 draws to a close, I am inspired to reflect on the past 12 months, and even further back to the very beginning of our alumni association and the birth of this great university. The alumni association was established in 1872, one year before a group of young men known as “The Twelve Apostles” would become UC Berkeley’s very first graduating class.

Director’s Chair: Fall 2016

At Cal we are no strangers to being catalysts for change. I have learned that Cal is where the heart is. During my first seven months at the Cal Alumni Association (CAA), I’ve traveled to meet many of our alumni communities and witness the ways in which they are embodying Cal spirit across the nation. My firsthand experiences with our alumni base inform our efforts as we move forward at CAA.

Farewell from the Executive Director

Dear Fellow Cal Alumni and Friends,

It has been an honor and a joy to serve at the helm of our Cal Alumni Association (CAA) these past four years, so it is with mixed emotions that I announce my departure from CAA this fall. I have decided to return to the private sector to pursue an exciting leadership opportunity in the marketing industry.
