About Alumni Relations
Some of the most rewarding experiences of university life begin at graduation, when former students enter the alumni community. Alumni are among the university’s most valued supporters. They participate in many areas of its educational and service missions as well as in special events and programs that enable them to maintain campus friendships and establish new contacts with peers. Responsibility for strengthening the relationship between the university and its alumni is vested in the Department of Alumni Relations.
