Alumni/Parents/Friends

Dear Alumni:

We believe that your relationship with California Baptist University is a lifelong experience.  Your years at CBC/CBU gave you so much that you still retain:  knowledge, growth, friends, wisdom, laughter -- all these elements helped shape your life. 

Your Alumni Association and Office of Alumni Relations strive to maintain good communication and to find creative ways of bringing alumni together, as well as keeping you informed of opportunities to invest in your alma mater. The Alumni Association Board meets every 5th Saturday in the year. The next meeting will be held on January 31, 2009.  We will begin at 9 am, in the Executive Conference Room.

The theme for Homecoming Weekend has been:  “Go Global - Stay Connected”. It is a theme that we will use for many years, because it integrates the mission of the University and the Alumni Association.  As our alumni scatter across the world to serve as educators, business leaders, ministers, therapists, musicians, and in countless other fields of endeavor, we want to stay connected with you and we know you want to stay connected with your peers. This website exists to help make that happen.

Please visit this website often.  In addition to alumni events, the University sponsors the Lancer Golf Classic, the Spirit of Excellence Gala, Women of Vision events, the Spring Play Premiere, the Bachelor of Applied Theology Golf Tournament, as well as other events throughout the year.

Please feel free to contact the staff members listed below when you have questions, would like to schedule a campus tour, or just want an update. Our newest campus additions and future improvements include the JoAnn Hawkins Music Building, major upgrades to the Van Dyne gymnasium, a complete renovation of the West Wing of the James Complex, and the brand new School of Nursing. All of these projects are opportunities for you to invest in the mission of CBU and to touch the lives of our students in a very direct way.

Nothing "sells" an institution of higher education more effectively than its alumni, so the future success of CBU has a direct connection to you, the actual "product" of the University.  Thank you for your representation of your alma mater, and thank you for your continuing support.
