Alumni Association

The Alumni Association provides an opportunity for you to connect with classmates, take advantage of reduced rates for continuing education programs, and support both the College and current students through scholarships and mentoring.

The best ways to keep in touch with your fellow alumni are to submit ClassNotes for the Alumni electronic newsletter and to participate in special events including Alumni Weekend and receptions at professional conferences.

As the voice of 3,900 graduates, we encourage you to actively participate in the Alumni Association.
