Sponsor a PAU Student

We are planning to start a “Sponsor a PAU student” program to build a learning community at PAU. The goals of this program are to provide you with options, which will enable you to get involved with our PAU student community (undergraduate and graduate students). It is through this involvement that we can foster the growth of a shared, learning based community. We will provide gatherings for you to meet with the student(s) whom you are supporting.

You may choose to:

  • Mentor a student in their school work or career planning;
  • Support a student by providing a tax deductible scholarship for as little as $1000;
  • Provide an internship opportunity; or
  • Provide a part time or full time job opportunity.

Contact Kemper Mitchell, Director of Alumni Relations, to learn more and to find out how you can get involved.

Alumni Association Volunteers Needed

The success of the Association depends on the commitment of its volunteers. You can make a contribution to the life of the Association in many ways. You could act as a regional contact coordinating activity in your locality, or you could use your professional expertise to help current students make those difficult career choices. We are always looking for alumni to help! Email kmitchell@paloaltou.edu for more information.
