The Role of Alumni Chapters & Communities

  • Loyalty: To help alumni maintain contact with their Alma Mater and keep informed of its advances. Speakers and visitors from the campus help to accomplish this and an excellent opportunity is provided by an annual meeting to receive a report from University president or his representative. Concord students from your area can add much to these gatherings. The Alumni Office will provide help in this as well as all other phases of association operations.
  • Social: To see old and make new Concord friends at alumni gatherings, and to welcome and assist Concordians who are new in your community.
  • Student Promotion: To cultivate prospective students. Alumni can be the best representatives of Concord. Your club can recruit outstanding high school students and can assist the admissions office program in numerous ways.
  • Fund Support: To contribute a reasonable amount, regularly, to the financial support of the University. Additional support is the result in cities where there are active clubs with an enlightened alumni group. Fund support must be divorced, however, from social meetings and should normally be carried on as a separate project.
  • Official Hosts: To welcome Concordians to your community. These may be University representatives there on business, new alumni, and parents. They will appreciate meeting Concord Alumni and you will enjoy meeting them too. The University will appreciate help in arranging meetings with parents when the president is to be in the area.
  • Public Relations: To publicize the association activities in the local press so as to keep the name of the University before the community. Your association is in an excellent position to encourage good will, public acceptance and understanding of Concord.
  • Continuing Education: To develop some form of continuing education for members.
  • Support the Alumni Program: Alumni associations have many opportunities to support and encourage the alumni program of the University at the “grass-roots” level. This is done in numerous ways:
    • Supply current addresses and information on alumni
    • Encourage attendance at Alumni Day, Homecoming and other events on the campus.
    • Send representatives to alumni workshops on the campus or in the area
    • Help to organize other Alumni chapters.
  • Other: Worthwhile purpose will vary with individual chapters depending on local talent, interest, and needs.
