Welcome to Your Cal Alumni Student Association

Sponsored by the Cal Alumni Association, the Cal Alumni Student Association (CASA) is the flagship student group at UC Berkeley for alumni and students to connect with one another. We offer an array of opportunities for students to become leaders within their community and to connect with Cal alumni. CASA aims to inspire students to become loyal and engaged alumni through volunteerism, community-building, and philanthropy. We are a community of engaged student leaders that support the mission of the Cal Alumni Association and the University of California, Berkeley.
