Alumni Committee Chair - April Harris - harrisal@uah.edu

Mission: The Office of Alumni Relations and the UAH Alumni Association serve as a link between the university and its graduates by providing communication through media, activities, and programs. Our goal is to provide Alumni with access to the university thus facilitating a life-long relationship that develops loyalty, attracts resources, and affirms the value of UAHuntsville in their lives and to our community.

Our vision is that Alumni programs will be:

• Diverse—We will identify and develop programming that meets the needs of the various significant demographic groups within the Alumni body. These include Alumni of each college, various generations, women, minorities, retired faculty and staff, and parents of current students. The goal of these programs is to increase Alumni and community awareness of and pride in the university and the role it plays in the economic success of Huntsville and the region.
• Innovative—We will create programs and communications that are contemporary, creative, and reflect the high-tech nature of the university and the diverse interests of our Alumni.
• Resourceful—We will initiate partnerships with people, offices, and organizations, both on-and off-campus, to strengthen our positions and programs and enhance our value to the community by combining resources with others to build structures that are stronger than any of us are alone
• Technological—We will use the power of technology to communicate effectively and efficiently, to bring a sense of relevance, immediacy, and personalization to our messages.
  

Our Strategic Goals:

• Improve communication
• Build pride and school spirit
• Provide diverse offerings and programs
• Grow Alumni association funding to better assist the university
• Develop Alumni loyalty by enhancing student life experiences
