The Alumni Society fosters communication among alumni and encourages continued dialogue between alumni and the University community. The Society seeks to obtain financial aid and legislative support for the University and to procure material assistance that helps to enable the faculties to carry out their plans for strengthening curricula, improving programs and keeping the University competitive with its peers.

The Society, in conjunction with its clubs, hosts alumni functions, identifies prospective students and promotes the interests of the University by focusing attention on its stature as a major regional center of learning. It assists the placement of graduates, collects and preserves materials for University history and honors distinguished student, faculty and alumni accomplishements.
