La Raza Alumni Association (LRAA) is the oldest Latino alumni group at California State University, Northridge. LRAA empowers students and alumni to succeed in their education, careers, and communities by providing mentorship opportunities, networking, social activism and fundraising events.
La Raza Alumni sponsors events such as:
• Tardeadas
• Cultural events
• Pláticas with professors and alumni
• Social mixers
• Scholarship fundraisers
LRAA has had a historical relationship with campus programs such as the Chicano/a Studies Department, Educational Opportunity Program (EOP), and student groups such as M.E.Ch.A.
We support and encourage activism that advances social justice and quality of life inside and outside of the CSUN community. LRAA promotes educational initiatives and programs that serve the Chicano/a/x, Latino/a/x and Latin American indigenous community at large.
Membership is open to all graduates of all majors, current and former students and friends of CSUN.
