Nazareth College Alumnae Association was founded in 1928 by the first graduating class of the college. In 1974 the name was officially changed to Nazareth College Alumni Association. The Association exists to maintain and promote the loyalty of its alumni to Nazareth College, promote the interests of Nazareth College, and cultivate a spirit of fellowship among its alumni through cultural, social and service activities.
The Alumni Board, which includes graduates of the undergraduate and graduate programs, is responsible for establishing policies and executing the programs of the Alumni Association. Each year the association recognizes outstanding achievements and contributions to the college by awarding a renewable scholarship to one incoming undergraduate student and one incoming graduate student, a Senior Award, a Graduate Student Award, and Outstanding Alumni Awards.
Out-of-town alumni have organized separate chapters to provide services and programs for graduates and to aid admissions activities in their particular geographic areas.
Regional events have been held in Albany, Binghamton, Boston, Buffalo, Elmira, Long Island, Utica, New York City, Syracuse, Washington, D.C., Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Denver, Houston, Pittsburgh, San Francisco, Phoenix, Greensboro, St. Paul, Hartford, Fort Lauderdale, Sarasota, and Baltimore.
The Office of Alumni Relations serves as a liaison between the college and over 24,000 of its alumni. The office is directly responsible for developing programs, promoting services for alumni, and facilitating communications through publications, visits to chapters, meetings, and individual contact. |
