A Message from the Alumni Association President

What an amazing start to the 2022–2023 school year we have had!

I’m still smiling thinking about all the awesome alumni I met at Homecoming back in October. It’s a wonderful time to catch up with those from your past, and I find myself getting even more energy meeting new people from among our huge WCU family — and I had plenty of opportunities to do that this fall.

In addition to Homecoming, we’ve had class reunions, the Friars Society’s 85th reunion, WCU football games, and other activities. Plus, we are always happy to play a part in the campus experience of our current students (whom we like to refer to as “future alumni”) and thrilled to be involved with new student orientation, move-in day, and the involvement fair.

As we head into the holidays, we are excited to welcome all the students who graduate this December into the ranks of the WCUAA!

Not to rush the calendar, but stay tuned for a full listing of spring events on the association website (www. wcualumni.org). Chief among them will be Alumni Weekend: Friday, April 28, through Sunday, April 30. I look forward to seeing all of you at one or more of the many great events planned for that weekend. Additionally, if you would like to give back to your alma mater and support student scholarships — plus you like a great party — block off Saturday, March 25, on your calendar for the 40th Annual WCU Presidential Scholarship Community Gala.

The WCUAA Board of Directors thanks you for your continued support and we look forward to seeing you soon. Your loyalty and passion for West Chester University is what makes our amazingly vibrant association stand out from the rest. Make sure you keep your eyes open for chances to help another alum as your fellow Golden Rams are all around you. With well over 124,000 of us, there are plenty of opportunities to connect and give back to one another and the WCU campus community!

Rams Up!
