Help us launch a new initiative to engage Utica alumni

Utica University is excited to announce a new initiative to provide opportunities for alumni to expand their professional network and enhance their alumni experience while staying involved with Utica through the four channels of engagement: giving, volunteering, attending, and connecting.

Host and/or help plan events, such as happy hours, receptions, small dinners, behind-the-scenes tours, educational panels, etc.
Maintain a Facebook group and other social media pages
Encourage diverse alumni attendance at Utica events
Encourage alumni to support Utica University philanthropically
