Chicanx Latinx Alumni Association, Los Angeles (CLAA LA)
We welcome all Cal alumni to join us in our community!
Come build the Cal Bears community with us!
The UC Berkeley Chicanx/Latinx Alumni Association (CLAA) strives to build a family of Chicanx/Latinx alumni in Southern California.
Our goal is to create a community that works together to support the continuing education and professional growth of Chicanx/Latinx students and alumni. By sharing our resources, experiences, and expertise, we can strengthen our community and enrich our personal development. Coming together via meetings, social gatherings, fundraising efforts, and cultural events, we celebrate our values and experiences.
We encourage you to get involved, participate and contribute to an organization that can help expand the presence of educated Chicanx/Latinx in the state of California in the 21st century.
