Winter Mixer

With over fifty attendees, the 2nd Annual Youth Chamber mixer was a success. Students from CSUF, UCI, surrounding colleges and local high schools had the opportunity to put in practice the skills learned from previous roundtables. We were glad to have sponsors Verizon and State Farm attend this event as well.  The night began by introducing this year's scholarships, internships, and board member positions available, and it ended with a memorable raffle at which students received prices that ranged from sponsor's goodie bags, to gifts cards, to laser printers.  Thanks to this networking event, recent

graduate Martin Mendez secured a job with

Verizon Wireless.
