The Alumni and Donor Engagement team serves to foster relationships with our community of alumni, donors, and friends by providing opportunities for engagement, delivering excellent benefits, pursuing impactful stewardship activities, and connecting constituents with meaningful volunteer, experiential, and philanthropic endeavors.

The Office of Chancellor Events and University Events partners with the Chancellor’s Office and University Advancement team, focusing on donor, scholarship, system-level, and campus annual events.  This Office averages over 200 events annually, varying in size and content.
