Alumni Successes & Testimonials

Our latest success story is Salvador Rodriguez, who has accepted an offer to work for the California State University’s Marketing Communications team.

“I joined SBPA in the spring (2022), and I’ve been fortunate to work with the leadership and to support this team with marketing projects, recruitment and retention. SBPA is a great resource in a person’s job search, from resume building to practice interviews, from creating your 20-second ‘infomercial’ to keeping your technical skills sharp via projects – I highly recommend being an active member!”
