The UMass Amherst experience is different for everyone. What remains constant for all graduates is a sense of accomplishment and an affinity with the institution that has changed their lives forever.
The UMass Amherst Alumni Association upholds and furthers this connection with your alma mater. It is our mission to provide programs and services that are relevant to you, add value to your UMass Amherst degree, and continue to raise the profile of the university.
In this Annual Report we describe the people, places, and activities that comprise your Alumni Association. Throughout this past year, we have successfully reached out to alumni, students, and the campus community to increase participation and volunteer levels. A network of Alumni Clubs, led by volunteer leaders, coordinates gatherings throughout the nation. Our revised Web site, UMassAlumni.com, delivers information and fosters connection and networking through the new online Alumni Directory. With these efforts and more, we are working to meet your needs and interests.
To this end, membership in the Alumni Association matters! The Alumni Association is primarily self-funded. Your payment of an annual membership fee makes alumni programs and services possible. The membership fee also provides access to special services and discounts through the Association. As a member, you demonstrate your pride and loyalty to the past, present, and future of UMass Amherst.
We are proud to present the 2006 Alumni Association Annual Report. As you read through these pages, please share in the accomplishments and celebrate your affiliation with UMass Amherst.
You were. You are. UMASS.
