When you enrolled at Rochester, you became connected to a community of more than 125,000 alumni University-wide. The connection between students and alumni unite Rochester’s past, present, and future. Within the Office of Alumni Relations, the Student Engagement Team drives efforts that strengthen old and create new tradition that deepen University pride and bring together our current and future alumni (you!).
Rochester Traditions
It’s tradition! Throughout the year, don’t miss these exciting events, activities, and programs that have united students across generations through shared experiences and University pride.
Undergraduate Student Organizations
If your club, group, or organization has been around for a while, chances are you have alumni who’d love to stay in the loop about what you’re up to. After all, they’ve been in your shoes and have tons of wisdom and experience they can share with you and your fellow members!
Here’s how we can help you make those alumni connections:
- Send fun and informative newsletters to keep alumni in the know
- Invite alumni back to campus for events
- Get alumni involved as speakers or panelists—whether in person or virtually
- Plan and host an event to celebrate your organization’s milestone anniversary
Ready to connect with your alumni? Check out the Get Connected info sheet, meet with your WCSA advisor, and submit the Alumni Involvement, Crowdfunding, & Donation Receipts Request form through the CCC. Questions? Reach out to Kelsey Michener, Associate Director of Student Experience Affinity Programs, at kelsey.michener@rochester.edu.
Student Alumni Ambassadors (SAA)
SAAs are positive, responsible, and enthusiastic students that represent the student body within the alumni community. If you enjoy meeting new people, expanding your personal and professional networks, and want to develop leadership skills, we encourage you to apply.
Senior Giving Campaign
