The Alumni Relations office is here to connect you to your alma mater, to current students, and, perhaps most importantly, to each other. We all want the University to be successful, and there are many ways — small, medium, and large — that you can connect to each other and help your University achieve the enrollment objective of 2,020 by 2020.

We look forward to seeing you!
