Cal Alumni Mentors
The Cal Alumni Association’s Cal Alumni Mentors program matches alumni with undergraduate students who are from first-generation, low-income, underrepresented, and/or underserved communities*. Through coaching and one-on-one mentorship, students develop the career and professional skills to succeed at and after Cal.
*CAA has identified Black/African/African American, Chicanx/Latinx, Native American/Alaska Native, Southeast Asian, Pacific Islander, and LGBTQ+ as underrepresented and/or underserved groups on campus.
