New look, networking features for CSUSB Alumni Association website



Internet users will find a newly designed and more interactive online community at www.csusbalumni.com, the official website for California State University, San Bernardino’s Alumni Association.

The CSUSB Alumni Association, with Blackbaud Internet Solutions (formerly Kintera, Inc.), designed its new site with networking and connectivity in mind. Featuring a searchable directory, career networking component, and a platform for online mentoring, the new online community promises to provide CSUSB alumni many ways in which to reconnect and stay connected to each other and the campus.

“We know our alumni want to be involved, want to be connected to the CSUSB community. Unfortunately, many of them don’t feel as though they have the time to do so,” said Pam Langford ‘85, Director of Alumni Affairs. “We’re hoping our new site, with its emphasis on networking, will allow alumni to connect with each other and the campus in a way that is convenient for them.”

Although online networking is a major component of the new online community, the revamped site retains many of the frequently used features of the previous CSUSB Alumni Association website. Campus and alumni news will continue to be highlighted on the site’s homepage, and alumni still will have the ability to update their contact information online. In the new site’s Get Involved section, alumni will find familiar tools such as a form to join the Alumni Association, a listing of volunteer opportunities, and a calendar of upcoming events.

“We are eager to launch our new online community,” said Langford. “In addition to the look and design of the new site, we’re especially excited by the opportunities it provides for our alumni to share their stories with each other and the campus, to network with one another, to seek employment or recruit employees, to volunteer online or on campus. The possibilities for connection and involvement are limitless...and in the hands of our alumni.”
