Hi Ashley,
Off hand, I don't have a lot for you, but I know Christina Hennessey, our chapter secretary, works at Loyola Marymount. My girlfriend will be working at the National Writing Project this summer at UCLA before she starts her PhD program (to ultimately work in higher education), and depending on what you're looking for, maybe she could put you in touch with someone? Shoot me a message with a synopsis of what you're looking for and I'll see if I can be of help.
"Thank you! I am so sorry that I can't make it on 5/12 as I leave for vacation that morning- I would love to meet everyone for another happy hour soon for sure, however!! Have a great time and thank you again- kimberly"
