The alumni association is seeking alums interested in getting involved and giving back to their alma mater. The Alumni Association has several opportunities for alums to get involved. Here are a few ways:

• Join the ALUMNI @ LACHSA Team. This group of alumni volunteers frequently visit campus to engage with LACHSA Students by distributing snacks during student finals, passing out special gifts to graduating seniors during the annual Valentine's Day event, attending school-wide events and graduation. This is perfect for the alum who has time to give back by coming to campus during the school day for these special events. Minimal time commitment, but is great for reconnecting and sharing with current students. If interested please fill out the form below.
