<strong>Alumni</strong> Clubs<br />
Regional alumni clubs (formerly chapters) grew significantly with new groups springing up in<br />
locations as far afield as London, South Korea and Vietnam. Clubs saw an increase in alumni<br />
participation, with 3,047 alumni attending nearly 100 events.<br />
These regional clubs (over 25 around the world) help alumni connect to each other and to the<br />
University with opportunities for social and professional networking. Regional alumni clubs hosted<br />
welcome events for <strong>UC</strong> San Diego’s newest graduates, career nights for mid-career alumni, and<br />
the annual Summer Send-Off Picnic with alumni volunteers greeting the newest members of the<br />
University community—freshmen and transfer students—before they arrive on campus.<br />
Regional alumni clubs added eight new locations, including Boston, Hawaii, Latin America,<br />
London, Portland, Singapore, South Korea and Vietnam.<br />
Professional networks have engaged over 1,000 alumni with the addition of Capitol Tritons,<br />
Financial Professionals Network, Legal Alliance, and Educators Network. The Entertainment<br />
Alliance was established in 2009. These groups publish professional directories, host networking<br />
events, and build relationships with companies seeking to recruit <strong><strong>UC</strong>SD</strong> students.<br />
Volunteers<br />
In addition, 2,453 alumni volunteers served as event planners, webinar hosts, career<br />
advisers, student recruiters, legislative advocates, scholarship application readers and<br />
more. Also, 40 alumni personally called more than 800 admitted students as part of the<br />
<strong>Alumni</strong> Calling Campaign to congratulate them and answer any questions they may have<br />
about <strong>UC</strong> San Diego and life on campus. Learn more about current volunteer opportunities<br />
