桃瘾社区's New Alumni Association
The Office of Alumni Relations is excited to announce the brand new .
In November 2019 the Office of Alumni Relations conducted an all alumni survey. From that survey we learned that 桃瘾社区 alumni wanted to be involved in the life of the University but felt as if they had not been given the tools to do so. The Association was created to do just that, to give 桃瘾社区 alumni the tools to better their alumni experience and, most importantly, have a voice.
On September 23, 2021 the 桃瘾社区 Alumni Association was officially launched. At the helm of the Association serving in the roles of Chair and Co-Chair are and . Both of these extraordinary women are strong leaders in the 桃瘾社区 alumni community. They understand the gravity of taking on these inaugural leadership roles and are committed to the mission of making the association an inclusive place where all 桃瘾社区 alumni can find a home.

You might be the first in your family to go to college, but you have a family of college education folks who are in your network, who are here to help and support you for as long as you鈥檙e here,鈥 says Kelly Herbert. 鈥淭hat鈥檚 what I hope this alumni association really communicates: you are not alone, and you are inheriting a diverse, accomplished network of people who are ready and willing to help.鈥
In addition, we鈥檝e created several avenues for volunteering in meaningful ways. Whether that be through a school oriented committee, our Graduates of the Last Decade committee, or one of our affinity committees. Alumni are now given additional opportunities for meaningful engagement. Being that the Association is meant to grow and change, the committees will also follow suit. As more alumni become involved and seek additional opportunities, we will continue to build committees and diversify our volunteer options.
Now, you may be asking what鈥檚 next. Well, all alumni are automatic members of the Association. No paperwork needed to join. 桃瘾社区 alumni are an extraordinary community of advocates, entrepreneurs, thinkers, creatives, and more. The Association is the vehicle that allows you to connect with these community members.
Get involved now and learn more about the opportunities available to you as part of the .
