The mission of the Converse College Alumnae Office is to provide a comprehensive array of programs and services for the alumnae. The programs and events are designed to serve the alumnae and keep them in touch, informed and invested in the alma mater.

The Alumnae Office begins working with students as freshmen, sponsoring events to increase their awareness of the Association and of their responsibilities as future alumnae. After graduation, the Alumnae Office serves as their link to the College, keeping them informed and involved with the College, and recognizing them for their accomplishments.

The mission is accomplished by the following:

• Organizing and traveling to events in the various alumnae club areas
• Organizing reunions
• Organizing on and off-campus lifelong learning opportunities for alumnae, parents, students, and friends of the College
• Maintaining a network of alumnae volunteers who help in the areas of student recruitment, providing internships, hosting events, and helping with fundraising
• Keeping track of alumnae careers, marriages, births, deaths, and maintaining files on each alumna
• Informing alumnae about their friends and the College through the alumnae section of the Converse Bulletin and the Holiday Wrap-Up
• Working with students to educate them about their future role as alumnae

WHAT CAN YOU DO?

• Refer prospective students to Converse College.
• Talk about Converse to your friends.
• Support the Annual Fund. Tuition and fees cover only a small percentage of the costs of an education at Converse. Increased participation in giving is a significant factor in national and regional rankings of colleges and universities, and in foundation grants for which the College applies.
• Provide Internship(s) for Current Student(s).
• Participate in the CareerView Program.
• Send your news to us.

YOU can make a difference!
