National Alumni Association

The National Alumni Association of Alabama State University is the organization that includes among its members graduates and former students who have attended the university for at least two full semesters or three quarters. To become active members of the National Alumni Association, eligible alumni join a local alumni chapter by payment of local and national dues as established by the governing bodies and make annual contributions to the university. Associate memberships are granted to spouses of graduates and, to a limited degree, persons who have strong affection for the university and make significant tangible gestures of support.

University relations activities are coordinated by the director for alumni relations, annual and planned to give, who serves on the association’s executive board and works closely with the affiliated alumni chapters. These activities include maintaining a computer file of alumni names and addresses, publication of the alumni directory, fundraising, student recruitment, organizing class reunions, promoting major athletic events among alumni and assisting in the preparation of alumni news for university publications.

Faculty members are encouraged to strengthen the alumni and students’ allegiance to the university through promotion of the alumni association. Faculty who are alumni of the university can add credibility to alumni activities and best show their support by becoming active members of the alumni association. A strong alumni association, as an advocate, can do much to strengthen the university and the welfare of its faculty and students.
