Annual membership in the Alumni Association for an individual is $35. Of this amount, $5 is given to the college or school you attended (e.g., College of Liberal Arts or the School of Medicine) and is used to provide alumni benefits such as newsletters and reunions. The remaining $30 goes toward Alumni Association programming and activities, alumni publications, chapter development, and alumni awards—just to name a few of the uses.
