Your Alma Mater / Building a Thriving Community

By William L. Pierce ’99, ’09

At The University of Toledo, alumni engagement is the heartbeat our institution, creating momentum and building a vibrant and supportive community. When alumni stay connected, they bring a wealth of experience, resources and enthusiasm that benefits everyone.

Engaged UToledo alumni contribute in numerous ways and their impact ripples across the University. They offer mentorship and career guidance, helping current UToledo students and recent graduates navigate their professional paths. Joining networking events organized by the Alumni Association fosters connections that can lead to job opportunities and collaborations.

Alumni also play a crucial role in enhancing The University of Toledo’s reputation. Your achievements in various fields serve as powerful endorsements, attracting prospective students and faculty. Sharing your story and the positive impact of UToledo in your personal networks as well as participating in events, reunions and volunteer opportunities keeps the spirit of our alma mater alive and shows others the many different versions of what success and happiness looks like before and after graduation.

Additionally, alumni support through fundraising efforts, philanthropic support and advocacy can change our campuses by providing resources for infrastructure, research and student scholarships. This support guarantees that UToledo continues to provide a world-class education and an outstanding campus experience for all Rockets.

I ask you to please consider getting involved. We have many opportunities available to partner in ways that work best for you:

Stay safe, stay well, and thank you for your continued support!  Go Rockets!
