The GOLD Program

The GOLD (Graduates Of the Last Decade) Program is a regionally based program that works within the existing Alumni Association chapters. It was created and approved by the Alumni Board in 1998 as a way to connect young alumni in their 20s and 30s during their first years out of school.

Alumni who join the Alumni Association and have graduated within the last 10 years are automatically part of the GOLD program. GOLD events are geared toward young alumni, but all alumni are welcome, including friends of alumni. Typical events include after-work socials at a local restaurant or club, sporting events, or anything unique to a regional area.
