Alumni

Support Wesleyan Students

Wesleyan continues to deliver an exceptional educational experience to talented scholars, thanks to the generosity of alumni, families, and friends. Make your gift or visit Giving to learn more about ways to support students. Alumni can also serve as Class Agents, acting as a liaison between your classmates and Wesleyan.

Regions

With over 30,000 alumni spread out across the globe, regional groups help connect alumni and families with each other, no matter where they are! Regional representatives serve as Wesleyan ambassadors and work with the Alumni Relations staff to plan meaningful events and programming for each region.

Admission

Wesleyan Alumni Admission Volunteers (WAAV) support the efforts of the Office of Admission by representing Wesleyan at college fairs and interviewing prospective students. Volunteers help ensure that prospective students who lack the time and/or resources to get to campus have an equal opportunity to attach a personality to Wesleyan by virtue of their interaction with alumni. Volunteers also ensure that Wesleyan continues to attract and enroll students who represent various geographic, socio-economic, racial, and ethnic backgrounds.

Class Agents

Class Agents act as liaisons between classmates and Wesleyan, communicating regularly with members of their class and encouraging classmates to make gifts to Wesleyan through the Wesleyan Fund. Class Agents play an important role in the overall success of the Wesleyan Fund. Through letters, emails, or calls, Class Agents can help generate record-breaking class gifts and give everyone the chance to reconnect with Wesleyan.

Reunion Committees

Reunion Volunteers work with the Wesleyan staff to guide the planning and implementation of their class reunion celebration held each May. Reunion committee members encourage classmates to return for reunion, ask for gifts in honor of their reunion and share the latest Reunion news via print and electronic communications. It is a great opportunity to reconnect with classmates before Reunion and to help Wesleyan at the same time.

Patricelli Center for Social Entrepreneurship

Practical idealism has always been a hallmark of Wesleyan. Since 2011, The Patricelli Center for Social Entrepreneurship has supported undergraduates by teaching practical skills, building a community of changemakers and forging pathways for student entrepreneurs and innovators. PCSE volunteers mentor students, give guest lectures on campus, judge grant competitions and more.
