Volunteer Leaders Make the Difference

Our Alumni Association’s mission is to increase alumni connections with the university. The association is led by the Alumni Board of Directors, in partnership with the Office of Alumni Engagement. The backbone of the association is its numerous chapters across the United States and abroad. Working together, we hope to create satisfying experiences for our alumni. We also communicate alumni views to the university and, in turn, communicate university issues, events and policies to alumni, with the goal of increasing their knowledge of and affection for Washington and Lee.
