WE BELIEVE THAT OUR ALUMNI COMPRISE AN INTEGRAL AND INSEPARABLE PART OF CWU AND THAT ALL ALUMNI HAVE A CONTINUING OBLIGATION TO SERVE AND SUPPORT THEIR ALMAMATER.WE BELIEVE THAT OUR ALUMNI CAN SERVE CWU BY JOINING TOGETHER IN AN ORGANIZED ASSOCIATION WHICH CAN PROMOTE AND FOCUS SUPPORT AND SERVICE AND THAT THE CONCEPTS FOR DEVELOPING THE ASSOCIATION'S ORGANIZATIONAL POLICIES SHOULD BE DETERMINED BY THE ALUMNI THEMSELVES.WE BELIEVE THAT IT SHOULD BE THE FUNCTION OF ASSOCIATION TO WORK WITH CWU TO DEVELOP WAYS AND MEANS OF ALUMNI ENGAGEMENT, INVOLVEMENT AND COMMUNICATION WITH THEIR ALMA MATER AND TO SEE THAT ALUMNI ARE RECOGNIZED AS A RESPECTED AND INTEGRAL PART OF CWU.THE WORK WE DO IS GUIDED BY THREE STRATEGIC PRINCIPLES:CONNECT = OUTREACHENGAGE = BUILD PARTICIPATIONLEAD = DEVELOP LEADERS AND PHILANTHROPIC PARTNERTHE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION HAS MADE TREMENDOUS PROGRESS AS WE HAVE SOUGHT TO EXPAND OUTREACH AND PARTICIPATION. THE ASSOCIATION CONTINUES TO LOOK FOR CREATIVE PROGRAM OPPORTUNITIES INCLUDING ON CAMPUS, LOCAL, STATE, REGIONAL AND NATIONAL ENGAGEMENTS. THIS HAS LED TO AN INCREASED AWARENESS OF THE PROGRAMS AND SUPPORT OFFERED BY THE ASSOCIATION. THE DEVELOPMENT OF THE ALUMNI PLAZA HAS NOT ONLY CREATED A PLACE FOR ALUMNI TO GATHER ON CAMPUS BUT IS ALSO DOUBLING AS THE COMMENCEMENT STAGE WHERE WE ARE ABLE TO WELCOME OUR MOST RECENT ALUMNI. IN ADDITION TO HOSTING AND MANAGING SUCCESSFUL EVENTS, WE HAVE CONTINUED TO BUILD A LIBRARY OF BIOGRAPHIES HELPING TO RECONNECT ALUMS WITH THEIR ALMA MATER. CHECK OUT OUR ALUMNI PAGE OF FACEBOOK TO LEARN MORE: @CWUALUMNI. WE ARE CONTINUING TO DEVELOP RELATIONSHIPS WITHIN EACH COLLEGE. WE NOW HAVE ALUMNI COORDINATORS IN EACH OF THE COLLEGES.
