The UTPA Alumni Association is
an organization of proud graduates, ex-students and friends
who have joined together to provide continued support and
service to UT-Pan American.
The Alumni Association began in
the early 1970s with 600 charter members. The names of those
charter members are etched onto
a large plaque that now hangs in the Alumni Office.
The Association is a
self-funded, membership-driven organization, that
offers its members a variety of ways to stay connected and
explore opportunities for building a place in the world.
Tangible benefits help members grow personally and
professionally, and have a little fun.
The Alumni Association provides scholarships, mentorship,
outreach and fundraising to improve the benefits and
services for students and graduates; and to promote the
University’s educational and technological excellence.
The Association has an annual budget of $100,000 and
provides alumni programs and events, including alumni clubs
and membership solicitation.
The Association has a 21 member
working board and involves a commitment of time and
resources. The board and most committees meet at least 4
times a year, usually at UTPA. Members are elected to a
three-year term and may serve up to two terms.
In order to select a diverse cross section of alumni, the
Nominations Committee takes into consideration the makeup of
the board. Factors considered include geographical area of
residence, year of graduation, occupation and volunteer
activities.
