Association Chapters

Our chapters provide the opportunity to network with alumni who share your professional or social interests. Most of our chapters are formed around Colleges and departments, but we are hard at work organizing new chapters around social, cultural and geographic interests.

By becoming a member of the Sacramento State Alumni Association, you have the opportunity to join one chapter for free. A second or third chapter would be $5 each ($50 each for life members.)

Our chapters include:

Art Football & Spirit Alumni
ASI Government
Black Alumni Hong Kong
Business MPPA
Capital Fellows affiliate Recreation, Parks & Leisure
Chicano/Latino Speech Pathology & Audiology
Construction Management Theatre/Dance
Engineering/Computer Urban Collective
   

The Art Chapter

The Art Chapter has a long history of bringing its members and the greater Sacramento community together in celebrating the arts. Working with the Sacramento State Art Department, the Chapter has hosted several art-related films; hosted the reception of painter and instructor Wayne Thiebaud; brought filmmaker Mark Herzig to present "Scherzo" and speak about cinematography; and for more than a decade has hosted the annual "Grad Ball."

The Art Chapter was responsible for the critically acclaimed, "Sacramento State 50th Anniversary Show," a juried show with more than 150 pieces displayed on four floors of the Sacramento State Library; "CAMS," the Chapter´s very successful annual juried membership show; and in 2004 the "Sacramento State Art Chapter Invitational Exhibition" presented in the Sacramento State University Union Gallery.

In addition to its active on-campus roll, the Art Chapter has an equally active off-campus outreach program. Members of the Chapter's Executive Board have given presentations at local community colleges, instructed and entertained children and brought art to various organizations and schools that would not otherwise had the opportunity.
