The Alumni Association
The Wilmington University Alumni Association was founded with the first graduating class of 198 students in 1972 to strengthen and promote the growth of the University. The Association is comprised of undergraduate and graduate alumni interested in recruiting their peers to remain connected to the institution and communicating students’ accomplishments to the community-at-large. In order to better connect with our alumni, Chapters have been established in certain geographical locations as well as on behalf of university affinity groups. A Chapter Chair is appointed to lead each group in alumni development and university engagement. They are involved in coordinating special events and collaborating with the Alumni Relations Department for fundraising activities. In spite of its growth to over 61,642, the Alumni Association still upholds its mission to value and care for our alumni as friends and partners.
