The Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAPP Alumni Association

With more than 36,000 members, the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAPP Alumni Association membership consists of all degree recipients and all former students who have earned 12 credit hours or more at Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAPP University. No fee required to participate, and membership is automatic to all who qualify.

The Alumni Association Board

The mission of the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAPP University Alumni Association Board is to establish and enhance the bond between Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAPP alumni and the University. Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAPP's Alumni Association Board members meet online monthly and on Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAPP's campus annually, with members located across the United States and beyond.

Board members volunteer to support their alma mater through helping with a variety of activities for alumni and friends, including events such as Homecoming, Commencement, fundraisers such as the True Blue Challenges and other special events. Your skills, talents and loyalty to Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAPP will help current and future students have the same great Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAPP experience that you had as a student. 

The strategic plan of the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAPP University Alumni Association Board covers three areas of focus:

  • Strengthen the identity of the Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAPP University Alumni Association as the voice for all alumni
  • Increase personal engagement with recent alumni
  • Increase alumni participation in Ä¢¹½ÊÓÆµAPP University Alumni Association activities
