The Carleton University Alumni Association represents more than 87,000 Carleton alumni worldwide. Membership is automatically extended to all graduates, and is available upon request to former students who have completed 5.0 credits but are no longer registered at Carleton.
The objectives of the association are to advance the excellence and prestige of Carleton University as a distinguished institution of higher learning in Canada, and to encourage a spirit of loyalty, friendship, service and benevolence among the members.
The Alumni Association serves the University by promoting its well-being through contact with graduates, government, the public, faculty, students and potential students. Its members are actively involved in various advisory boards, and as ambassadors for Carleton. It is governed by the Executive Council, a volunteer group. The Alumni Association is represented by 13 branches in major cities across North America, international affiliate groups and 18 active chapters.
The Department of Development and Alumni Services maintains alumni records to ensure a meaningful dialogue between alumni and the University. All graduates with known addresses receive various correspondences from the University including Carleton University Magazine, news on events and activities such as Homecoming, and fundraising appeals.
A great way to stay connected to Carleton is to visit our Web site at: www.carleton.ca/alumni. While there, you can join Carleton's award-winning online community of graduates in the Carleton Cafe. This virtual meeting place is where you'll network with old and new friends, post messages, access career and business opportunities, share your views on issues affecting Carleton, catch up on news and events, donate to the university or volunteer through PATRON (Putting Alumni Talent and Resources Online). PATRON is an online database of volunteers who are willing to share their time and expertise with other alumni, students and members of the university community.
The Alumni Association sponsors Homecoming, reunions, an alumni awards program including the graduate and undergraduate Student of the Year Awards, and various chapter and branch activities.
In addition, the University partners with a few select businesses to promote a variety of affinity services to alumni. These services are arranged with the support of the Carleton University Alumni Association and offer members a range of benefits, including an alumni affinity card, life, home and auto insurance, extended health, dental care, financial services, apparel and a variety of on-campus discounts. Funds raised from alumni participation in affinity services help to support student awards and other alumni initiatives such as Alumni Park and the Alumni Wall of Fame. Alumni may opt out of affinity mailings by informing the Department of Development and Alumni Services by email at devalum@carleton.ca or by phone at 1-800-461-8972.
