Party at the Alumni Center
There are only a few more home football games this year, which means just a few more chances to attend a pre-game party at the Alumni Center. The events feature barbecue, music, face-painting and activities for the kids. The Marching Band and cheer squad always pay a visit. Remaining parties are 4 to 6 p.m., Oct. 22, and 2 to 4 p.m., Oct. 29 and Nov. 12.

For more: (916) 278-6295.

Any volunteers?
The Alumni Association always needs volunteers, and volunteering is a great way to socialize with other alums. You can help plan and oversee events, benefits and services available to members. There’s always something to do on behalf of alumni, students and the community.

For more: Julie Anderson at 278-6295 or alum@csus.edu.
