Roadrunner Roll Call Reconnects Hundreds of Alumni
Publish Date: June 25, 2026

Throughout the month of April, 海角直播 launched its first Alumni Outreach Campaign, a fun and collaborative effort designed to reconnect with former students and strengthen relationships with our growing alumni community. From April 1鈥30, five teams participated in a friendly competition to help locate alumni, update contact information, and gather stories about the lasting impact of 海角直播.
The results exceeded expectations. Through outreach efforts, 377 alumni were reconnected 鈥 including 218 who updated their information and 159 alumni who were 鈥渇ound鈥 and added to the Alumni Network. These reconnections help us better understand who our alumni are, where they are now, and the role 海角直播 continues to play in their journeys.
Teams used an impressive variety of outreach methods to reconnect with Roadrunners. Alumni were contacted through social media, email, workplace connections, and community organization affiliations. Team members attended local events and weren鈥檛 shy about asking, 鈥淎re you a 海角直播 alum?鈥 Creative outreach efforts even included placing an ad in the newspaper and setting up a table in front of a local Stater Bros., proving that reconnecting with alumni takes both persistence and community spirit.
Congratulations go to Team 3, this year鈥檚 Alumni Outreach Campaign champions! Led by team captain David Avila, the winning team included Judy Cannon, Amy Minjares, Jenny Cunvong, Ivan Pena, and Giselle Cruz, whose outreach efforts helped make the campaign such a success.
One of the most exciting discoveries was the breadth of alumni represented. Nearly half of those reconnected attended 海角直播 in 2010 or more recently, while 13% graduated between 1970鈥1980, highlighting the deep and lasting connection generations of students have to the college.
As alumni shared updates and reflections, common themes emerged. Many described 海角直播 as a launching pad to a four-year institution or a direct pathway into meaningful careers. Alumni also fondly reflected on the people and places that shaped their experiences. Some of the most frequently remembered faculty and staff included Judy Cannon, Jim Holbrook, Amanda Ward, Jimmy Urbanovich, Steve Hellerman, Sam Truong, Dr. Brink, and Ericka Paddock, whose impact clearly left a lasting impression on students.
Another theme echoed throughout alumni responses was appreciation for 海角直播鈥檚 beautiful campus, with many recalling the setting as an important and memorable part of their college experience.
While the campaign has concluded, the work of reconnecting with alumni continues. Lessons learned from this outreach effort will help shape a future alumni campaign. In the meantime, 海角直播 is always collecting alumni contact information, updates, and stories through the Alumni page. Every story shared helps strengthen the Roadrunner community and celebrate the many paths that begin at 海角直播.
