vitalalumni 2023 – 2024
vitalalumni brings CPS graduates back to campus to share their professional and personal journeys—from life before UHD, to their time at UHD, and beyond graduation. How do their stories and experiences reflect your own? Join us to hear from those who’ve gone before you and be inspired by the enduring tradition and impact of the UHD community.
