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.
