The Western Alumni Community is 382,000+ members strong and the impact of Western graduates can be seen across the globe.

As the Alumni Association Board of Directors, we are proud to represent graduates who make the world a better place. We appreciate and understand that we serve an incredibly diverse and multifaceted alumni audience and therefore strive to enhance alumni engagement in numerous capacities and through various, evolving touch points. To this end, in late 2021 and early 2022, the Alumni Association’s Board of Directors conducted strategic planning sessions to update and reaffirm our vision, mission, and key activities to drive critical outcomes.

We know Western alumni are intensely loyal to their alma mater and as Western’s 150th anniversary fast approaches, we all want to ensure the University continues to meet its goals. Our aim is to prosper together and continue to share in connections, contributions, skills, and knowledge. As such, our strategic plan, outlined in this document, will serve to guide the work of the Board of Directors, volunteers and dedicated staff partners in the years ahead.

Vision

To inspire all alumni to share a lifelong commitment, pride and passion for Western.

Mission

We are the catalyst for building a vigorous alumni network and a lifelong relationship among Western and its constituents, including students and graduates, and for supporting the University’s mission locally, nationally and internationally, as set out in the University’s Strategic Plan.
