CSUN Matador Connect

CSUN Matador Connect is a virtual, large-scale peer matching program that connects new CSUN students with experienced Matadors who share similar interests, background, and even career aspirations. Having a student navigator enhances your campus experience by giving you useful insights and valuable support during your transition to CSUN. In turn, navigators gain the opportunity to get involved on campus, gain volunteer experience, and make a true difference.
