Connect with Academics

They can plug you into the faculty and subject areas that kept you captivated as a student and ensure that you’re learning your whole life long. Keep the academic mind alive and reach out!
Connect with Campus
Jenelle Dean ’05 is your liaison for campus engagement: reconnect with your college, athletic team or rec league, a club, student org or even your former campus job—anywhere you found your niche outside of class.

So to connect with campus outside of your former studies—just drop a line!

Connect at Reunions
Longtime friends are the most heartfelt of Triton connections, and we’re here to reunite you with those you still know well, and others you may have lost touch with. Reunions aren’t just for class years; we help host reunions for resource centers, academic programs, clubs, campus jobs and more. Visit: alumni.ucsd.edu/reunions
Connect with Clubs
Even if you’re far from campus, you’re never very far from fellow Tritons. Our alumni clubs across the nation (and world!) can connect you to the alumni network in your region. Beyond our main club areas, our individual regional ambassadors—Tritons who are the go-to alumni connectors in their city, state or region, and we’re always looking for more. So if you’re looking to meet other Tritons in your area, connect with us and we’ll get you started: alumni.ucsd.edu/clubs
Connect as a Volunteer
Volunteer opportunities are abundant when you’re a Triton—it’s part of what makes us changemakers. Give back to your community at our Service Days or through one of our many regional clubs’ outreach projects. You can also help deserving students get the resources they need as a scholarship reader, or be the first to tell a hopeful student they were admitted to UC San Diego in our acceptance calling campaign. That’s just the start—come speak to classes, mentor a student and much more: alumni.ucsd.edu/volunteer
