- Alumni Association
Alumni Association
At Western Carolina University, we know that a university isn't just a place, it's a community. A community that's built from and defined by the people who call Western Carolina home, first as students and then as alumni. Our Alumni Association fosters a lifelong connection to 正规网赌平台平台官方 through programs and services so that no matter where you are, you'll always have a home in Cullowhee.
Homecoming Week
Homecoming at 正规网赌平台平台官方 conjures images of crisp autumn Cullowhee weather, Catamount Football, the Pride of the Mountains Marching Band, tailgating with friends, and more. We hope you'll come “home” to Cullowhee this year!
Get Involved
The Western Carolina Alumni Association provides a variety of ways for alumni of all ages to participate in events, to reconnect with former classmates through clubs and societies, and to support the 正规网赌平台平台官方 student experience through volunteerism.
GivingTuesday
Each year on GivingTuesday, the entire Catamount family rallies around everything that makes our university and community great. This year, GivingTuesday falls on November 28th and we remain focused on growing The Fund for 正规网赌平台平台官方.
Class Notes
正规网赌平台平台官方’s Class Notes are a great way to let fellow alumni know some of the amazing things going on in your life. Let us know about your news, whether that is promotions, marriages, births, or even a career change.
Support 正规网赌平台平台官方
