The Cleveland State University Alumni Association has created this site especially for alumni who have received their degree within the past 10 years. As graduates of the last decade (GOLD), you are an important part of the CSU alumni family! Here you will find links and information specifically relevant to your post-college life.

The Alumni Association understands that you are trying to adjust to the “real world” and put your degree to work for you. Staying connected to your alma mater will not only benefit and strengthen Cleveland State, but it will also enrich your life. So check out the site, and please let us know if you have any questions or suggestions.

Making a contribution to the Cleveland State University Annual Fund not only provides educational accessibility for students, but also ensures institutional excellence that will maintain the reputation of your degree. We understand that as a graduate of the last decade money can be tight with student loan payments, a new job, new adult purchases, and maybe even graduate school. The good news is that you don’t have to give a lot to make an impact. Why not start by celebrating you? Donate in honor of your class year, for example $20.13 for those that graduated in 2013. That’s less than you probably spend for a night out on the town, so why not give back.
