Alumni Update

Members of Student Alumni Council assist future alumni at the spring graduation fair, an event hosted by the Office of Alumni Relations to prepare students for Commencement.

• Every vote counts. The election for an alumni representative to the Winthrop Board of Trustees is underway, and once again the voting is available online. Those who are not already members of the new online community, www.winthropalumni.com, will need a 7-digit constituent I.D., which can be obtained by e-mailing wualumni@winthrop.edu. If you are currently a member of the new online community, login and make your candidate selection.

• Mark your calendar. If you were formerly involved in a club or organization and would like to establish an alumni affinity group or plan a reunion, please visit the affinity groups page for more information.
