  • Advisory Council
  • Affinity Networks
  • Reunion and Class Volunteers

A vital alumni association is of critical importance to Arcadia’s ability to achieve its full potential. The purpose of the Arcadia University Alumni Association (“AUAA”) is to cultivate and promote alumni engagement through activities that:

  • are valued by alumni
  • build enduring and mutual relationships
  • strengthen the University’s reputation
  • involve alumni in meaningful activities to advance the University’s mission
  • inspire loyalty and financial support
  • create a bridge between students and alumni

The Advisory Council is the executive arm of the Alumni Association, serving as the guiding body of all volunteer engagement, designed to mutually benefit Arcadia students, alumni, and the University. The Council is led by the Advisory Council  President, Vice President, Committee Chairs and Representatives-at-Large for a total of 15 officers. Together, they focus on governance and alumni engagement through the lens of the four pillars of recruitment, retention, placement, and philanthropy.

Volunteer on an Advisory Council Committee

The Alumni Association is seeking alumni to serve on the Advisory Council Committees. If you’ve been looking for a way to make a difference with your alma mater, this just might be the opportunity for you. Alumni are invited to complete the Advisory Council Committee Volunteer Interest Form to get started.

  • Awards and Honors Committee helps to raise the visibility of alumni, identify and vet potential awardees and honorees, plan and execute an annual awards process, and seek involvement as future volunteers. These awards and honors should largely seek to honor alumni but may include students and others whose contributions meet the award criteria. 
  • Event Outreach Committee raises awareness and boosts attendance for key events, activating AUAA to become more actively engaged at signature events (Celebrate! The Joy of Giving, the University’s annual scholarship dinner, an annual Volunteer Awards event, a recognition vehicle to showcase and celebrate the important work of volunteers, and UKnightedTuesday, where global event hosts, ambassadors, matching gift or giving challenge recruiters, and fundraising captains play a strategic and important role in successful outcomes). 
  • Professional Development and Mentorship Committee creates student clusters for alumni-led mentoring and professional development sessions that culminate in resumé workshops, practice interviews, readiness coaching and job counsel. Through a robust network created with support from the Volunteer Talent Development Committee and the Arcadia Alumni Business Network as well as a partnership with the Office of Career Education, Arcadia alumni will seek to develop strong student ties to alumni networks before graduation and develop job readiness skills through internships. 
  • Recruitment and Retention Committee will work to support increasing the University’s yield through a series of hosted events, digital engagement, personal interviews, and other activities, designed to positively influence prospective student decision making. Guided by the goals set by the Office of Enrollment Management, successful outcomes will be reflected when Arcadia meets recruitment targets. This is a pillar focused committee.
  • Volunteer Talent Development Committee will build our bench strength and work to create a robust pipeline of alumni to be engaged across many facets of AUAA, develop a structure for volunteer recognition and appreciation, support, and monitor onboarding and orientation, training, evaluation of service, dismissal, and off-boarding or end-of-service for volunteer leadership and supportive roles. This committee will help to determine likely synergies across committees.
  • Philanthropy Committee will work in partnership with University Advancement to support the education of alumni populations on the compound power of giving. Leading by example, committee members will not only share their own motivation for giving but also work to inspire others to similar action with a focus on raising the alumni participation rate of giving. Committee members can work to encourage graduating seniors to work together to represent their class philanthropically, reinvigorate reunion focused support, acknowledge and celebrate gifts from alumni, focus attention on stewardship, encourage feelings of pride for donor support, and provide key leadership for UKnightedTuesday efforts.
