Income from membership dues for each alumni association enables them to provide various programs of interest and need for their constituents and the institution. The board of directors of each of the alumni associations administers these programs through a representative in the alumni office. The faculty is always invited and involved in alumni events. Each year the School of Medicine Alumni Association hosts a spring event to honor the faculty of the School of Medicine. The president of the School of Nursing Alumni Association meets with School of Nursing faculty monthly to give updates on the programs of the association.
Faculty members are essential in establishing and preserving the bond with alumni.
