In 2017, former PAU faculty member Leslie Kimitsuka was charged with leading organizational change for the Santa Clara County Registrar of Voters. Fortunately, PAU alumni Andre De Ocampo and David Sanchez (both 2015 Business Psychology graduates) were ready to help with this effort. Andre and David relied heavily on many of the psychological principles they learned at PAU, such as leveraging cognitive frameworks, strategic interventions, effective collaboration, and communication practices.

Alumni and Community Socials
It was quite a busy summer that saw PAU host events in San Jose, Palo Alto, Washington, San Diego, and virtually. Our most recent stop was in Denver at the Association for Counselor Education and Supervision (ACES) conference, where we celebrated PAU faculty member and new ACES President, Dr. Margaret Lamar!
We are planning January events to celebrate the new year, so be on the lookout for invitations!
