WyoSAA's traditional coordination of the Homecoming Parade has helped members develop organizational, interpersonal and leadership skills in a very visible setting. In the past three years, more than 27,625 alumni and friends have attended Alumni Association functions. The volunteer network of the Alumni Association is an important arm of the organization. Hundreds of volunteers throughout the country give of their time to assist with nearly every aspect of the association and with various areas of the University.
Volunteers concentrate their efforts on outreach, student recruitment, and legislative networking.
The outreach program is a major function of this network. It would be nearly impossible to facilitate alumni functions without local volunteer help. There are more than 250 alumni throughout the country who volunteer to assist in student recruitment, attending college fairs in their local areas. They also sponsor Centennial Singers performances in their geographic areas. In academic year 1998-99 there were 27,869 UW alumni living in Wyoming.
