Dinner With Matadors

The Program

The Dinner with Matadors program brings together CSUN alumni with current CSUN students in a relaxed setting outside of campus while sharing a meal. Dinner with Matadors is an opportunity for students to share their experiences at CSUN and learn more about their host’s journey as an alumnus and what happens after graduation. It also gives everyone a chance to expand their social circle by meeting new people. 

The next rounds of dinners will take place on the evenings of March 27-29, 2020.

The Impact

From 2016-2019 over 500 students were given the opportunity to connect with CSUN alumni through the Dinner with Matadors program.  Of those students many reached out to let us know they gained a personal mentor from the dinner or even an internship. While this is not the main goal of the dinner, we love to hear about Matadors helping Matadors!
