Alumni and Donor Engagement

The Quick Version

Alumni Relations manages relationships between UCCS and its over 55,000 alumni and works to cultivate a strong bond between our graduates and their alma mater.

The Office of Alumni Relations is a division of University Advancement that exists to strengthen ties between UCCS and its alumni and friends through management of the UCCS Alumni and Friends Association.

In the spirit of educational advancement, the Alumni and Friends Association strives to be the central link between the University and its alumni. The Alumni Association promotes and fosters a lasting and mutually beneficial relationship between alumni, the University, its students, and the community to support the mission, goals, and traditions of the University of Colorado Colorado Springs.

The Office of Alumni Relations communicates regularly with graduates via e-newsletters and invitations to special events. We also work with colleges and departments on campus to develop alumni relations strategies.

We also reach out to our graduates through a variety of social media networks including Facebook, LinkedIn and Twitter.

The Office of Alumni Relations also hosts numerous alumni events each year, including networking receptions, faculty lectures and family events. A complete list of upcoming events is available on the Alumni and Friends Association website.
