- Serve on the Mathematics/Computer Science Associates Board of Directors. We need alumni that have a passion for seeing the purpose of the Associates fulfilled.
- Speak at campus seminars on topics relating to the working world of Math and Computer Science.
- Make sure that your employer is aware of PLNU and that they participate in the on-campus job fairs and other recruiting activities.
- Give gifts to the Mathematics/Computer Science Associates Fund to support Math/ CS departmental scholarships, www.pointloma.edu/giving

Current Projects
One current objective is to solicit contributions towards the Mathematics/Computer Science Associates Fund to increase the number of departmental scholarships offered to our undergraduates. We currently have a goal of increasing our fund by $10,000 and to increase the number of scholarships available to our undergraduates.
