CAA Programs Make a Difference

  • “A trip of a lifetime where I met fascinating people, learned so much and experienced the totality of the solar eclipse.”

    Vicky K., Albuquerque, NM, Cal Discoveries traveler

  • "I really enjoyed the CAA mentor/mentee coffee breaks. It helped me destress, chat with others, and feel inspired about my experience at Cal.”

  • “The Lair is our favorite week of the year. We love everything about it. We love the age groups, the pool, and the traditions…and our longtime Lair family.”
