Mission Statement
The Office of Alumni and Development works to build relationships with alumni and friends of the university and encourages participation in the life of The W. Each alumnus is important in helping promote, strengthen, and grow The W as it moves into the future. We encourage you to become involved in a variety of ways: join the Alumni Association; attend an alumni event; become part of or help establish an alumni chapter; invest in your university with a charitable donation; volunteer; mentor; keep up with the The W through our alumni magazine, Visions. There are many ways for you to stay connected to other members of the Long Blue Line and your university. Your participation helps ensure that The W continues to provide an outstanding academic experience, as well as a welcoming environment for students, faculty, and staff. Involvement of our alumni and friends is vital to the future of The W. We want to hear from you!
