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.
College undergraduate student organizations
If your organization or council has been in existence for a while, there are likely alumni who, as past members of the group, might like to keep up-to-date with current group activities. These past group members not only have been where you are now, but they have also acquired knowledge and experience since graduating that might be helpful to you and your organization.
We can help you:
- Communicate with your alumni by email or newsletter
- Invite alumni to campus events
- Involve alumni as speakers or panelists—in-person or virtually (i.e. via Skype)
- Host a student organization/alumni event
Ready to connect with alumni? Review the Get Connected info sheet, talk with your advisor, and submit a completed proposal form. Questions? Contact Kelsey Michener at Kelsey.Michener@meckitapkirtasiye.com.
