The Alumni Association of DePauw University campus life, including through renewed traditions such as Old Gold. They will also be asked – far more directly than has been the case in the past – to get meaningfully involved in engaging our students and increasing the value of the DePauw experience. DM: So, you’re focusing on engagement that isn’t necessarily about making a gift? What should alumni expect? SJS: Yes. Making your personal best annual gift is still important. But other alumni roles are important, too. We have asked 50 young alumni, for example, to advise our first-year student mentor groups on the first full day of orientation. We’ll ask alumni to build a pipeline of internships for our students. We’ll ask all of our alumni to identify and recruit prospective students who perceive the value of our form of education. It’s worth repeating that DePauw needs its alumni now more than ever. We intend to ask a great deal of DePauw alumni, now and in the future.
With more than 30,000 members, the DePauw University Alumni Association is the official membership organization for DePauw alumni. Membership is straightforward. Any graduate or former student of the University is granted lifetime membership, joining thousands of fellow alumni known for living lives of purpose and accomplishment. The Alumni Association offers intellectual and social connection to the University, networking and career development, opportunities to participate in campus life, and a means for advocating the University’s mission. Advancing these purposes is the Alumni Association Board of Directors, a body of dedicated volunteers elected by the association to represent cities and regions across the nation.
