Hello California!

I am thrilled to be working at OSUAA as the California Regional Network Director. I lived in California for six years, and though I am an Oregonian now, I consider California my second home.  

I hope to establish a solid calendar of annual events that meet you where you are. But I need your help! I welcome any thoughts you have on programs we must do, fun activities for the family, or ways to connect around career conversations. Of course I can’t do all of this alone. As always, we are looking for dedicated volunteers (who bleed orange) to help OSU alumni connect with each other and with the university.  I invite you to contact me with any ideas, dreams, helpful tips, or volunteer interest you may have at Kari.Christensen@oregonstate.edu.

I can’t wait to meet each of you over the next year as together we explore what it means to be a Beaver living in California!
