Alumni Gatherings

CCA alumni are gathering across the country and around the world to network, reconnect and get the latest news about CCA.  Join us at our next event or plan one of your own! Visit us on Flickr to see event photos.

Bay Area Alumni

Alumni from classes 2000–07 joined us in San Francisco for a Young Alumni Happy Hour on February 22, 2008. The event was held at Etiquette Lounge, an engaging night-life addition located at 7th and Market, designed and co-owned by CCA Industrial Design alumni Matt McKee and Joseph Pitruzzelli.

Alumni mixed and mingled while enjoying free popcorn and tasty drinks, made even better because the first drink was on CCA! Keep an eye out for upcoming happy hours throughout the Bay Area. Photos now posted.
