Start thinking about your costume now because this year’s Party in the Park theme is HALLOWEEN!

Party in the Park is the CSUB Alumni Association’s signature fall fundraiser, featuring local restaurant fare, West Coast wines, craft beer and, this year, the music of Lonely Avenue.

The event raises money for scholarships awarded to CSUB alumni pursuing their graduate degree on campus and for the `Runner Alumni Mentor Program, which matches up professionals with students who need help joining the workforce.

The Alumni Association awards thousands of dollars in scholarships each year, including $7,000 to three students this past spring. Most of these students are the first in their families to graduate from college, have overcome incredible life obstacles and are pursuing careers that impact entire communities.
