Winthrop Young Alumni are Graduates of the Last Decade (G.O.L.D.), or alumni who have received a traditional undergraduate Winthrop degree within the last 10 years. Graduates of the Last Decade make up approximately one quarter of our alumni constituency. As a G.O.L.D., you can stay connected to and engaged with your alma mater in a variety of ways, including participation in social activities, networking, student mentoring, philanthropic efforts and much more.
The Young Alumni Council (YAC) strives to keep Graduates of the Last Decade connected to their alma mater and strengthen the relationship between Winthrop's campus and all young alumni. YAC leaders are involved with a variety of events and initiatives that promote philanthropy and networking, including the Day of Giving, Senior Week, and regional events.
