Whether you graduated from Caltech one or 65 years ago, you won't want to miss the reunion celebrations! Alumni celebrating 5-year class reunions, and interested alumni from surrounding years are all invited. The weekend promises traditions, information, fun, frivolity, and nostalgia.

Come back to school this June with fellow alumni, friends, and Caltech faculty. The 2004 Alumni College will take place June 18 and 19, and will showcase the Jet Propulsion Laboratory.

In 1997, the Caltech Alumni Association launched a program in which alumni would serve as mentors for students. The program was originally designed to offer students the opportunity to talk to experienced alumni about Caltech, graduate school, careers, and life in general. The program has now evolved into CONNECT@CALTECH, a networking/mentoring program designed to help the Caltech community get connected to each other and other people who can provide information about people and careers in science and technology.

Seminar Day is the Alumni Association's version of "Homecoming" where alumni have the opportunity to return to campus and take sight of current innovations, to meet with fellow alumni, and to hear faculty presentations on current research activities.

Seminar Day consists of six 45 minute sessions. During each session, seven faculty members simultaneously give talks at various locations on campus. Session III, The General Session, scheduled at 11:00 a.m. has two segments to which all Seminar Day participants are invited to attend. This session consists of the General Session Speaker, and the presentation of the Institute's highest honor, the Distinguished Alumni Awards.

Join hundreds of other Techers for another great day at Caltech.

The programs of Student/Faculty/Alumni Relations Committee are designed to enhance student life, as well as provide an opportunity for interaction between students, alumni, and faculty. The Association and the Career Development Office sponsor several career panels each year for graduate students and undergraduates. They also host a new grad student barbecue and freshman pizza party in the fall. In addition they co-host, with the Alumni Fund, a BBQ for seniors which provides an opportunity for soon-to-be alumni to visit with established graduates and GUSH (Graduate Underground Social Hour) which serves the same purpose for graduate students. Each year the Association provides funding to several student organizations.

The Undergraduate Admissions Support Program (UAS) is a joint effort of the Alumni Association and the Admissions Office. The Association provides a volunteer workforce and administrative support; the Admissions Office provides the direction and resources for the volunteers to help Caltech meet its recruiting and admissions objectives. The UAS Organization is a nationwide effort with approximately 400 Alumni Admissions Representatives (AARs) who assist the Admissions Office in many ways during the year and their interaction with prospective students is an important component of the admissions process. AARs attend college fairs and fall information sessions, visit local high schools, email prospective students, visit one-on-one with students, call admitted students, attend receptions for admitted students, and present the Caltech Signature Award to local high school juniors.
