Alumni Chapters

Regional alumni chapters connect fellow alumni who live or work within defined geographic areas, and offer alumni a way to gather informally without special requirements or membership fees. Alumni chapter leaders collaborate with the Winthrop Alumni Association to plan activities and events that create opportunities for alumni to network and socialize both in-person and virtually.

The following includes a minimum outline of the requirements of an alumni chapter leader:

• Attend alumni events held in your region, both virtually and in-person
• Attend Winthrop events as an ambassador and representative for Winthrop and the Alumni Association
• Attend Volunteers’ Conference
• Attend Admitted Student Receptions in your region
• Organize and host two alumni events in your region, in-person or virtual
• Participate in quarterly Zoom meetings with all alumni volunteers
• Communicate with local alumni via email, social media and individual outreach
• Make an annual gift to Winthrop in an amount that is meaningful to the chapter leader

For more information or to volunteer with your local alumni chapter, contact Brittany Neely '14, alumni engagement coordinator, at 803/323-3050.
