The Arizona State University Alumni Association recently added five new groups to its chapter network, bringing the total number of groups operated by the association and its alumni volunteers to 153. The Alumni Association board, at its Feb. 19 meeting, approved the creation of an alumni club in South Carolina, as well as four international connection groups in China — in the cities of Changchun, Dalian, Harbin and Shenyang.
These groups will join a network that now includes 45 geographically based groups within the United States, 23 academic affiliates focused on graduates of specific degree programs at the university, 19 special interest chapters or clubs representing alums of registered student organizations and 66 international connection groups, representing Sun Devil alums worldwide.
The primary goal of chapters is to keep alumni connected to ASU, whether it be through their academic program, their current geographic location, or the registered student organizations or university sponsored student groups in which they participated. Chapters sponsor a range of activities for their members, including networking events, Sun Devil game-watching celebrations, outdoor recreational activities, and service-oriented volunteer projects. Many chapters give back to the next generation of ASU students by providing mentoring services, by hosting Sun Devil Send-Offs for incoming ASU students, or by awarding scholarships.
