Welcome back to The Beach, Seniors! We hope your Fall semester is off to a great start.
Mybeach is here to keep you connected and motivated with senior-only opportunities and news. This newsletter features a call for senior profiles, Week of Welcome, upcoming virtual events and more! Make your final semester(s) count at The Beach!
Fall Week of Welcome
Join us next week at Week of Welcome, August 29 and 30 from 11am - 2pm at the Central Quad and Speakers Platform. Stop by the mybeach table to learn about CSULB Alumni offerings for Seniors!
Witness The Power of Generosity
Seniors, be sure to stop by the Annual Giving table during Week of Welcome to snap a photo in our Instagram Frame and learn how your class gift makes an impact at The Beach!
The Senior Class Gift is a meaningful way for graduating seniors to make a difference in the areas of campus that impacted them the most during their time at The Beach. Gifts strengthen our programs, help create internship and research opportunities, and even support initiatives such as (but not limited to) the Beach Pantry, mental health resources, unforeseen travel expenses to conferences and more.
Find more information by visiting the Beachfunder website!
