Alumni Events

Many thanks to all who were able to join us at the PAU Alumni Socials throughout 2023! Great times were enjoyed from coast to coast and online. As we broaden our scope to include more educational and professional foci, we'd love to hear what would be of most interest to you at alumnirelations@paloaltou.edu!

We hope you'll join us for a recap of PAU 2023 highlights and a New Year Celebration at The Grill House in Redwood City, CA on Thursday, January 18th from 6:30 - 8:30 pm. Please REGISTER HERE so we know you're coming!

Alumni Stories

We love to celebrate the many accomplishments of our alumni, and have lots of news to share with you this quarter! 

This past October, alumna Maggie Tsai established the "PAU Innovart Research Grant" to support counseling students conducting mental health research. She "hopes this will create a positive cycle, where students conduct high-quality research that gets published, society benefits from that research, and PAU achieves increased visibility for its wonderful work.”

Dr. David Jull-Patterson, an alumnus of the Clinical Psychology PhD program, shares with us how he has helped to address health inequities for disenfranchised communities.

January is National Mentorship Month! Alumna and PAU Board of Trustees Chair Dr. Daniele Levy speaks about the importance of mentorship in her life while also outlining the strategic vision for the future of PAU.

Do you have a mentorship story to share? Please tell us about it in our private Facebook and/or LinkedIn groups!
