Join the Board

Board volunteers are expected to attend board of directors meetings, serve on Association committees, attend events sponsored by the Association, join as a dues-paying Legacy Member of the Association, be available to the university to host official guests on an as needed basis, and make a personal financial donation to the university. Prospective board members are interviewed and appointed each June. Board members serve a three-year term. Additional information about service on the board of directors can be requested from Shellie Hadvina, Associate Vice President for Development and Alumni Relations

Each year, hundreds of CSUN alumni volunteer to serve the university. Explore volunteer opportunities.
