The Alumni Engagement team fosters lifelong relationships between Bobcats and OHIO. We offer opportunities to grow through career and leadership development, honor outstanding alumni and university milestones, and give back through mentorship, volunteering, and service. Our work supports every college, engages young alumni, and strengthens career networks.
Learning - Career - Leadership - Network
We empower Bobcats to thrive through opportunities for lifelong learning, career development, and leadership growth. Whether through skill-building workshops, networking events, or leadership programs, we connect alumni and students to the resources they need to keep growing — personally and professionally.
Recognition - Tradition - Celebration
We celebrate the achievements, milestones, and spirit of the Bobcat community. From college-based awards to alumni spotlights and recognition events, we uplift those who make a lasting impact on their industries, communities, and alma mater.
Time - Talent - Treasure - Ties - Testimony
We create meaningful pathways for alumni to give back — not just through gifts, but through time, talent, and connection. Whether serving as classroom speakers, mentors, or volunteers, Bobcats help shape the next generation by staying engaged and involved.

Know of alumni doing amazing things – tell us! As the college or regional experts, we want to hear your alumni profile ideas - share names of alumni to be used as featurettes, stories and/or guest presenters for programs and events.
ÌìÌÃÄñÏÈÉú Alumni Association offers various levels of support for alumni activities across the campus. In addition to event, marketing, and registration support, we have implemented a financial sponsorship process as another avenue for our partners to seek funding for activities within their departments, colleges, and regional campuses.

OUAA and University Advancement will approve funds three times a year, and approved sponsorships will range from $250 - $1,000. If there is a need for additional funds outside that range, please indicate that in your application. All support requests must have an application filled out and submitted by the dates provided below:

We know you are doing amazing work with your alumni base - make sure it gets included in our annual alumni engagement reporting. Each fiscal year, the Division of Advancement calculates an engagement score, with guidance from the Council for Advancement in Support of Education (CASE). Pulling data from our alumni CRM, as well as collecting manual information, we take the number of engaged alumni and divide that by our legally contactable alumni base. This gives us a percentage of engaged alumni each year, and a better understanding of who is involved with the University.
If you have hosted alumni activities not recorded in Advancement's central database, please upload that information here. Reach out to Kate Robey or any campus partner liaison with questions.
