| • Welcome Your Association at Work ■ Beyond the Beach Program > NEW! Get advice on navigating the real world after graduation! Designed for recent alumni but open to all, Beyond the Beach provides guidance on major career and life choices. The series will be launched during Homecoming on Nov. 15. All sessions will be complimentary for alumni. Read more on page 11. President’s Message To reflect the positive changes at Cal State Long Beach, we’ve redesigned our members’ publication with a more contemporary look. But the goal is the same: to engage our 40,000-plus members with Cal State Long Beach, serve as advocates and enhance our students’ educational experience. The student experience will also be more meaningful when they can better connect with us through activities at the future Anna W. Ngai Alumni Center. We want to thank our many members who responded to our e-survey, of which a few are featured on pages 7-9. You may recognize former classmates! If you have a moment, send your thoughts on this redesigned publication to [email protected]. Thank you again! GO BEACH!
