The UCSD Nu Alpha Kappa (NAK) Alumni Association, Inc. was founded in 1998 as an autonomous nonprofit organization dedicated to continuing the lifelong brotherhood and professional development of Nu Alpha Kappa members after graduation
Separate from the undergraduate chapter yet closely connected in mission, the Alumni Association serves as the “next chapter” of NAK — providing structure, mentorship, and community as members transition from campus life into professional careers and family life
Over the years, the UCSD NAK Alumni Association has earned national and campus recognition, including multiple Alumni Association Chapter of the Year awards and UCSD Alumni Engagement recognition. These honors reflect a long-standing commitment to leadership, service, and community impact.
Undergraduate life provides clarity — classes, majors, leadership roles, and defined milestones. After graduation, that clarity often disappears
Many alumni ask:
-What is my career path?
-Is this the right job for me?
-How do I grow professionally?
-Where do I find mentorship and opportunity?
The Alumni Association was created to bridge that gap — connecting brothers across generations to share experience, opportunity, and support
We exist to ensure that no brother navigates life after graduation alone.
We encourage growth and brotherhood beyond graduation through:
-Professional development events
-Career networking and mentorship
-Resume reviews and referrals
-Scholarships
-Family-centered programming
-Community outreach
-Ongoing support outside structured events
We are a resource base for both undergraduate and alumni NAK members — strengthening our network and expanding our impact.
"NAK supported me through the trials of being a first-generation, Latino student at UCSD. Weekly study hours and academic workshops sharpened my study habits and kept me focused, quarterly events with other organizations allowed me to develop my social skills while expanding my network, and annual alumni workshops and national conferences taught me valuable professional skills.
Being a brother of NAK ultimately taught me to embrace my own cultural identity while empowering others to do the same. I aspire to create opportunities for others to learn, overcome, and grow, just as NAK has done for me."
"I'm super grateful for all of the opportunities I've had in my life/career, and being able to share that with the next generation is an amazing privilege."
"Thank you to all the brothers of Nu Alpha Kappa and to UC San Diego for your continued support. Together, we are helping close critical gaps in the Latino undergraduate experience, and the work continues."
