DESCRIPTION
The Legislative Connection, formed in Spring of 1995, is the volunteer Legislative advocacy arm of the Alumni Association. The Connection is designed to assist the University in addressing legislative issues which affect CSUN and the California State University system, and to keep elected officials informed of issues affecting Higher Education. The majority of the members are CSUN alums.
Members are kept informed on issues through
a variety of University publications, including Legislative
Update, and in special Alerts on specific
issues. They are invited to participate in a special "Day at
the Capitol," which takes place each spring, in tandem with the
Statewide CSU Alumni Association's annual reception for members of
the legislature. The University President leads the delegation,
which also includes members of the Ambassadors of Higher Education (a
local chapter of a CSU systemwide advocacy group that was established
by former Chancellor Barry Munitz). Members may also be invited
to various special events.
