Alumni & Development

Alumni & Development Programs are dedicated to serving the needs of all Washington University graduates and strengthening their connections to the university community.

All alumni are members of the Alumni Association, represented by the Alumni Board of Governors. The chair and executive vice chair are ex officio members of the university's Board of Trustees. Alumni are found worldwide:

• 134,262 alumni addresses were on record in July 2011;
• 36.876 — 27.5 percent — live and work in the St. Louis area;
• 90,676 reside elsewhere in Missouri, in the other 49 states, the District of Columbia, and U.S. territories;
• 6,710 reside outside the United States.

Washington University Clubs are active in 53 cities around the world. All programs are available without alumni dues — some may require an event fee — and nearly every activity is open to parents and friends as well.
