Making the Connection

Our 16 college-based alumni societies and three affiliate societies provide alumni with an important link to the University of Minnesota and to their collegiate unit and its faculty, students and alumni.

Although the objectives of each alumni society may vary, common goals include:

• Communicating with alumni and stimulating interest in the college;
• Acting as an informal advisory board to the dean, faculty and staff to the college;
• Fostering public and community support and providing a means for alumni cooperation to improve the college;
• Honoring outstanding alumni, faculty and students;
• Providing educational and professional programs and services to alumni and students;
• Assisting collegiate fund-raising efforts; and
• Helping to recruit prospective students and improve the student experience.

Alumni Association members may join collegiate alumni societies or affiliates free of charge. If you are already a member, click here to choose or change your society.
