ORGANIZE A CLUB
New alumni groups are formed everyday. Please visit the listing to make sure your area does not have a club. If you do not find a group in your area, e-mail Kimberly Lowe to begin the process.
You will be asked to provide us with a listing of zip codes in your area. Using the university’s database we can inform you of other alumni in your area. Based on the number of area alumni, an organization strategy will be discussed.
Contact other alumni to develop an initial leadership base. A group of 10-12 volunteers who are interested in organizing the club should be identified. Set up a time and place for your first meeting. An Alumni Association representative can talk with the group and assist in the organization of your club.
Schedule meetings. Scheduling events that are of interest to the alumni in your area can quickly increase participation. Provide a means of communication to facilitate the introduction of new ideas and to identify persons who are interested in filling future leadership positions (a periodic newsletter, listserv, or flier can help spread information).
Keep the Outreach & Engagement Office informed. The Alumni Association has many resources to assist you, including printing and mailing services. Timely notification of your plans gives us the best opportunity to support you in your efforts.
