ASU starts the new school year with the busy arrival of thousands of students, return of faculty and resumption of energized campus life. The Alumni Association will have simultaneously initiated the planning and conducting of a variety of events and activities. Opportunities for sharing, learning and celebrating will arise in Boston, Northern California and Houston, as well as in Tempe. Those activities will be as varied as informal game watching, career networking, charitable fund raising galas and the traditional campus activities of Homecoming and Founders' Day.
The association must both maintain current operational functions even as it actively adapts structure, capacity and culture to the dynamically changing context of a comprehensive metropolitan research university. The Alumni Association has begun a process for collective strategic planning to ensure that it may evolve into a more inclusive, transparent, accountable, flexible and effective affiliate and partner for ASU.
Current initiatives include:
Reforming structure, policies, staffing and culture to ensure the most
constructive use of volunteer and organizational resources.
Implementing a comprehensive program to engage student scholars in alumni
operations, to provide student mentoring by working professionals and
to initiate a continuing process for the give and take of lifelong learning
and engagement with Arizona State University.
Enhancing relationships with students, the university and greater community.
Maintaining valued traditions and celebrating accomplishments of faculty,
staff, students and alumni.
Alumni volunteers bring diverse experience, skills and perspectives. Individuals may have varying amounts of time and resources to offer. We invite all alumni to become involved. Come back to ASU Through attendance at events, paid membership in our organization, committee volunteerism, public policy advocacy support, student mentoring and scholarship contributions.
