Re-ignite your passion for UWC, explore collaboration opportunities, or simply connect with like-minded individuals in your area at a Pearson and/or UWC alumni gathering. You can gather your fellow alumni in your region with a whole slew of different events. Some we’ve seen work successfully are potlucks, picnics, happy hours, and BBQs.

How to host a gathering:

We recommend a couple of alumni work together to plan and host an event. Give yourself time to prepare.

Regional event hosts typically:

• select and secure the gathering site
• work with the Alumni Office to define the invitation list
• suggest wording for the invitation emails, social media posts and website
• make personal outreaches to encourage attendance
• attend the gathering and say a few words about Pearson or UWC
• share posts about and photos from the gathering on social media during and/or after the event

The Alumni Office can help regional event volunteers in many ways:

• connect you with other regional leaders
• producing email lists of alumni in the area
• sending email invitations and posting event information on the College’s social media outlets and website
• coordinating RSVPs
• providing talking points on College updates
• providing event materials (e.g. name tags, donation cards, etc.)

Please contact the Alumni Engagement Officer at least 8 weeks before your proposed event date, so that we can help you organize and publicize the event.
