Calendar of Alumni Events

The University College Alumni Association (UCAA) invites you to come learn about the College’s plans for the coming academic year and give your feedback on our programming.

The UCAA’s objective is to promote community among alumni, and between alumni, students, and University College. The UCAA presents the opinions and recommendations of alumni to the administration and faculty of the College, and serves as a resource in advancing the College’s mission.
