Alumni Relations works to support our alumni on their journeys as Lakers for a Lifetime, helping them stay informed, get involved, give back, and have Laker pride. One of the ways we accomplish this is by helping faculty and staff members connect with alumni through events, volunteer opportunities, and communications.
