From Ivy League universities to state-run colleges to smaller, lesser-known schools, almost all colleges have alumni associations. Sometimes even a department or program within a university has its own association. For example, the University of California Los Angeles school-wide alumni association boasts approximately 535,000 members, but its MBA program has its own association with more than 41,000 members. These groups serve a variety of purposes that benefit the school, the group members, and current and future students. One of the primary goals of alumni engagement is fundraising. The money collected from alumni often supports important projects, such as research or new structures on campus, and funds scholarships for current students. Associations also contribute to a school's reputation by highlighting the achievements of notable alumni, especially the leaders and innovators. These groups also provide valuable networking opportunities for members and current students. Most associations hold annual reunions on campus each year, but many of the larger associations form smaller subgroups that meet more frequently. These groups are often organized by location, profession, or other interests. Members of the PennState Alumni Association, for example, can join local alumni chapters across the U.S. as well as special interest groups for baseball fans, active and veteran military members, and many more. Between meetings, smaller groups often stay in touch through social media.
