New Alumni Networks

This past fall, the UCR Alumni Association established two new alumni networks.

The San Diego Alumni Network allows alumni in the area to connect through networking opportunities, events, and community service.

The Military and Veterans Alumni Network provides an opportunity for alumni who have served to connect and engage through a variety of events. This network partners closely with the UCR Veterans Resource Center.
