welcome to the office of alumni relations

earl hallDear Alumni and Visitors:

As the Director of Alumni Relations, it gives me great pleasure to serve our 67,000 alumni in a variety of ways, from welcoming alumni back to campus with a variety of special events to cultivating future alumni - our students.  In a combined effort between the Office of Alumni Relations and the Southern Connecticut State University Alumni Association, we are proud to bring to our alumni the most comprehensive programming ever offered.
 
I encourage you to click on the "Upcoming Events" tab to your left and see what we have in store for you this year.  We hope that we have planned something for everyone.  Check back often as the site will be ever-changing with additions to our schedule of events.

Perhaps it has been a while since you've been on campus.  Maybe you were here to attend the Mary and Louis Fusco Distinguished Lecture or to watch your favorite Owl team compete, or to participate in a workshop at the Michael J. Adanti Student Center.

No matter what the case, we want you to know that SCSU is your campus.  As the New Haven region's most rapidly growing urban campus, we are committed to student success while striving for academic excellence and engaging with the community.

We serve as a virtual conduit for our alumni, by offering seminars and panels about the issues that matter most to you.  We're here to lend special expertise to the social, economic, governmental, business and educational issues that impact you right here in Connecticut and the region.  Our faculty, students and alumni collectively encourage and challenge each other to think in new ways and to approach difficult questions with creative solutions.

Take advantage of what Southern has to offer -- from academics and athletics to arts and culture.  The Office of Alumni Relations will be here to welcome you. 

Cordially,
Michelle Rocheford Johnston
Director of Alumni Relations
