II. Getting Started

It's as easy as 1...2...3...and...4!

Step 1: Contact the Alumni Office

The Alumni staff will connect you with current chapter volunteers and members in your area or assist you in establishing a new chapter. A member of the Alumni staff may be available to travel and meet with you and other chapter leaders for training and planning.

Step 2: Identify and Recruit Other Alumni Volunteers

We will provide you a list of alumni in your area and highlight potential volunteers. After you review the list, you or the Alumni Office will call alumni to inquire of their volunteer interest in the Alumni Chapter. The size of Chapter leadership will vary, but 2-3 core volunteers are ideal.

Step 3: Confirm Alumni Chapter leadership in a planning meeting.

Review Alumni Chapter Manual with core volunteers. Review University Alumni Events calendar and brainstorm ideas for event ideas, volunteer duties, and communication plan with Alumni Office.

Step 4: Plan and host your first Alumni Chapter event!
