Alumni connection program


Alumni connection program


Alumni Connection Program

In the spirit of California Phi Beta Lambda, the Alumni Connection Program (ACP) enables alumni to share their professional and personal experience and expertise with current PBL members. The connections made in the program help prepare our students for a successful future and leave a lasting impact on our community.

PBL members can expect to attend virtual speaker series and workshops by respected alumni mentor who are working in diverse industry from non-profit, startups, consulting and Fortune 500. With an access to alumni database, members can utilize this to bridge between alumni and members to expand their interest in specific industry and network.

As an alumni mentor, mentor will have the opportunity to advise member(s) on academic guidance, career advice and personal development. We encourage mentors and mentees to connect on a regular basis (i.e. once a month). However, the frequency and form of communication are things you both can determine.
