Alumni Fellows
Since 1983, the program has brought successful alumni back to campus to meet with
students and faculty and to share their expertise in the classroom and at informal
settings.
Fellows are chosen by each college to return as distinguished guests and as mentors,
friends and counselors. They are honored in recognition of the ultimate measure of
a university – not curricula, facilities or programs, but the quality of its alumni.
