Programs & Services

The University of Wyoming Alumni Association sponsors a variety of programs and services for alumni and friends of the university.   Membership dues and donations fund a large portion of our programming costs.  Your support directly funds activities and services that benefit you.

 

Alumni Reunions & Functions

In the past decade, UWAA has reached over 50,000 alumni nationwide through reunions and various functions.  Currently, the association sponsors approximately 40 events each year.  And there’s more – through exploring partnerships with other UW departments, we expect additional functions in the future.  We know alumni like to connect with each other in person, and we sponsor events to facilitate these connections.  If you’re interested in having an event in your area or for your special interest group, please contact us at uwalumni@uwyo.edu to discuss possibilities.  Click here to learn more about alumni reunions and functions.

Homecoming Weekend

Homecoming weekend is a time for alumni to reacquaint with their alma mater – to relive the experiences that defined their college years and to experience the ways in which UW has changed and remained the same.  The Alumni Association coordinates alumni activities during homecoming weekend, including the 40 and 50 year class reunions, All Alumni Breakfast or Luncheon, and the homecoming parade.  Click here to learn more about this years homecoming activities.   

 

Social Networking

In November 2008, UWAA launched its FaceBook page in order to communicate better with alumni.  We have over 1,900 fans at present and our base grows every day.  We’re also on LinkedIn and Twitter.  In the next year, UWAA and UW will launch a comprehensive alumni portal, which includes an online community, seamless connections with users’ FaceBook account, an online alumni directory, and more.  Click here to learn more about social networking initiatives .

 

Distinguished Alumni & Medallion Service Awards

UWAA Scholarship Program

UWAA’s scholarship program is funded by our generous Scholarship Club members, who recognize the potential in bright students and want to foster that potential.  Over $50,000 each year is awarded to deserving UW students.  Available scholarships range from one year to four year awards in various categories.  Click here to learn more about supporting the program or scholarships available

 

UW License Plates

In November 2007, UWAA began accepting applications for the University of Wyoming License Plate.  For a one-time fee of $130, Wyoming residents can obtain a UW plate.  By Wyoming Statute, $100 from each plate sale is deposited into an account for student scholarship and programming.  Just over two years later, over $400,000 has been generated to support UW students.  Click here to learn more about the UW license plate.
