The Alumni Association provides a variety of ways for you to become active with the College. You may:

• Function as an Area Representative providing a direct linkage to your local/state society and the College
• Work with the Board Committee making recommendations on College publications—Alumniscope, The President’s Report
• Volunteer to advise the Alumni Committee on our placement/practice sales network
• Participate in Commencement or Reunion Weekend

The Alumni Association is especially involved with Reunion weekend that generally takes place the second weekend in October. Upwards of 200 people participate in this affair and it is a special time for the anniversary classes—those celebrating their 10^th, 20^th, or 30^th year of graduation. The 25-year class always has an eventful time. And, there is a special celebratory banquet.

Another activity of the Alumni Association is to act as “host” for the 50-year class at Commencement in late May. A large percentage of the 50-year class returns each year to participate in Commencement and we are please to meet and greeting these wonderful folks.

In addition, the Alumni Association supports the work of the staff on College publications, area gatherings, maintenance of the alumni database (which is not available to the public at any time, but may be relied upon to reach a special friend or classmate at a professional address) and with the placement and practice sales services.
