In partnership with Alumni Relations, the Association provides programs and services that strengthen the connections between graduates, the institute, and the community. “We happily invite you to join us at this year’s Coming Home, on campus AND live-streaming, and explore our theme of Stronger Together in Community.” Coming Home 2019 follows yet another year of enormous challenges from unusually heavy rains, winds, and more evacuations. Many of our neighbors and friends remain traumatized from the sheer magnitude of the past year. As our Pacifica community slowly recovers, PGIAA remains committed to transmitting hope and gratitude.
