Get Involved

The DEIJ Committee aims to grow the alumnae affinity groups (e.g. Asian American, Black/African American, Middle Eastern, Latinx, etc.) and foster their interactions with the student affinity groups. This will include recruiting speakers or compiling helpful resources for alumnae, student, and/or parent events. Ongoing initiatives include both the affinity gathering online and in-person events, including Salsa Night, Black Student Union End-of-Year BBQ, and Asian American affinity gatherings.

The Engagement Committee assists with alumnae outreach and boosts attendance for alumnae events, such as Alumnae Weekend learning and gathering opportunities (on campus or beyond) and helping outreach for class notes.

The Young Alumnae Circle creates opportunities for young alumnae gatherings, networking, and career development, both in person and via Westridge Connect and other social media. Past events have included a holiday brunch, College Connections Fair, and social happy hours. YAC also encourages young alumnae participation in Alumnae Weekend and other reunion events.

The Philanthropy Committee encourages alumnae to support the Westridge Fund and the Forever Fund endowment for financial aid by attending and encouraging their classmates to join Zoom-a-thon (previously Phonathon) and give to Westridge. The Herrick Bowl, Owen Trophy, and the new Elizabeth J. McGregor DEIJ Endowment Fund award recognize top fundraising classes.
