wenty-six alumni representing five decades and various affinity groups make up this year’s Alumni Association Board of Directors. “This diverse group of alums cares passionately about their alma mater,” says Janie Spencer, executive director. “Board members are involved in everything from strategic planning to distributing ice cream to incoming freshmen and their families.” Amy Du Pont, ’01, is president of the board. Founded in 1969, the Alumni Association serves as the primary liaison to the largest constituency of the univerAmy Du Pont, ’01 sity: alumni. The association builds and maintains relationships among alums, students, friends and the university to create a lifetime connection. During the past 40+ years, the association has hosted hundreds of events worldwide. Alums hail from 50 states and 57 countries. UW-L graduates total more than 68,000. The association and its activities are funded primarily through membership dues. In addition to working with the academic departments, athletics, alumni networks, and other affinity groups, the association sponsors programs for current students. “The Alumni Association is dedicated to keeping alumni connected to each other and to the university,” explains Spencer. “We encourage all alums to become members!”
