Established in 1964 by a group of dedicated graduates, the UCSD Alumni Association has grown to represent more than 127,000 alumni worldwide. The Alumni Association’s mission is to foster a lifelong, mutually beneficial relationship of alumni and students with the university. To that end, the Alumni Association works to provide alumni with continued access to the resources of the university, to communicate UC San Diego news and happenings, and facilitate a dynamic network for alumni and student interaction through a rich variety of educational, career, and social programs and events.

Highlighting the Alumni Association’s annual programming calendar are three signature events: Homecoming in October, Young Alumni Reunion in February, and Alumni Weekend in June. Additionally, the Alumni Association hosts such ongoing programs as UCSD Near You, which brings the university’s outstanding faculty and alumni together with fellow graduates, parents, and friends across the country; regional alumni chapter events; Career Networking Nights; and a host of other opportunities to help tap into the Triton alumni network.

The Alumni Association awards undergraduate scholarships, assists the university with legislative advocacy, and recognizes outstanding alumni, faculty, and students at the annual Alumni Awards for Excellence ceremony. The Alumni Association also publishes its award-winning magazine,
@UCSD, three times a year and the CampusLoop e-newsletter monthly. It also hosts an active online community through numerous social and professional networking communities.

The Alumni Association provides current students access to the alumni network as a resource for career, social, and community connections through such programs as Student Achievement Guided by Alumni (SAGA), a leadership development and mentoring program; the UCSD Student Foundation, an organization dedicated to promoting student philanthropy; and the Order of the Tritons, a group of volunteer student ambassadors for campus and alumni events. In addition, the Alumni Association provides financial support for student organizations and activities.

UCSD students and graduates who are members of the Alumni Association receive access to numerous benefits and campus discounts, networking and volunteer opportunities, educational travel programs, a subscription to all alumni publications, and special member rates for campus, UC San Diego Extension, and community activities.

A majority of the staff is represented by UCSD alumni who take great pride in serving as the guardians of tradition and providing fellow alumni with opportunities for continued engagement with the university through leadership, advocacy, service, and philanthropy.
