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 College Magazine and to participate in special
events including Alumni Reunion and
receptions at professional conferences.
As the voice of 3,500
graduates, we encourage you to join the Alumni Association and receive our
membership benefits. If you are currently a member, we look forward to your
continued involvement and support.
