The Alfred University Alumni Association dates back to 1884 when a group of enthusiastic former students established an organization to “create and maintain activities for the support and development of the University.”
The Alumni Association is led by the Alumni Council whose members are selected from active alumni volunteers. In 2010, the Council updated the Alumni Association’s Constitution and its mission: “The Alfred University Alumni Association actively supports and facilitates the strongest possible sense of community among Alfred University’s administration, faculty, student body and alumni.” The Alumni Council operates under the direction of an elected President and with the support of the Director of Alumni and Constituent Development.
Alumni are encouraged to attend virtual and regional events, and to also return to campus for special events, such as Hall of Fame Inductions, Homecoming and Reunion. In addition to being reunited with classmates and other AU alumni, these events often provide networking opportunities, introductions to current students and the chance to receive campus updates from Alfred University's administration and staff.
The Alfred Magazine, is offered on-line and mailed to engaged and active alumni. It offers information about events, along with campus news, class notes and alumni profiles. The University also communicates electronically with its alumni through E-News and social media.
Alfred University's online community is a vital link for communication among classmates and between the University and alumni. Alumni may register on-line for regional and campus events. The online Alfred Community enhances opportunities to stay in touch by offering a permanent email address.
The Office of Alumni Engagement is located on campus in the University Advancement Office at the Fasano House. Alumni and friends are encouraged to stop in when visiting the Alfred area. Alumni may also stay in touch by calling 607-871-2144 or by email. Our staff is looking forward to assisting you with any Alfred University matters you may have.
