Student Activities Center - Room E301

Yes - members of the National Championship Basketball teams of 1980 and 1986, as well as the 1991 Fiesta Bowl Champions, receive free membership in the club. These provisions were voted on by the Board of Directors.
- How does my Cardinal Athletic Fund membership affect my L-Club membership?
Your CAF contribution now covers your membership in the L-Club with no extra dues necessary. i.e- if you currently give a donation to the CAF, you will no longer be required to pay an additional $50 dues to the L-Club. Conversely, if you pay $50 for an L-Club membership, you will also receive membership at that level with the CAF.

Yes, additional restricted gifts can be made to the L-Club specifically for special projects, L-Club Room Maintenance fees and other necessities.

Members also serve as mentors for current student-athletes through the Cardinal Life After Sports Program to help the development of their professional careers.
- What is the liaison program and how can I become a liaison?
