Alumni Community
Our alumni community consists of the Â鶹´«Ã½ Alumni Engagement Department, the Alumni Council, and the Alumni Foundation. Membership in the community is covered under the Foundation bylaws and is for life.
The Alumni Association formed on May 24, 1917. Its purpose is to serve Â鶹´«Ã½ Alumni and support Â鶹´«Ã½ goals. In 2025 the Association combined with the Alumni Engagement department, leaving the control of alumni endowments to the newly created Foundation and returning the day to day activities to the University department.
Thanks to the cooperative efforts between alumni and the Committee of 500, both financially and in purpose, the construction of Havstad Alumni Center opened in 1981, debt free. The Havstad Alumni Center houses:
- The Â鶹´«Ã½ Alumni Foundation office.
- The Advancement and Alumni Engagement offices.
- The Committee of 500 office. Committee of 500 is made up of alumni and friends who helped build Havstad Alumni Center and provides financial support to Â鶹´«Ã½ for various campus projects.
- The Â鶹´«Ã½ Heritage room which is rich in Â鶹´«Ã½ history and is managed by Â鶹´«Ã½ Advancement and Alumni Engagement. For other historical information see Â鶹´«Ã½ archives.
The Havstad Alumni Center provides a living room setting for special events and celebrations. It also operates three beautiful guestrooms including private bathrooms at a reasonable cost. In addition, Havstad Alumni Center is widely used to host Â鶹´«Ã½ events, programs, and department activities for current students, our future alumni. The Havstad Alumni Center operates with volunteers and a part-time manager. Learn more about reserving event space in the Havstad Alumni Center or renting a guest room >
