GET INVOLVED, GIVE BACK, MAKE A DIFFERENCE
Joining with other alumni offers excellent networking opportunities with former classmates, faculty, and staff at the school and often leads to other volunteer leadership opportunities. A connected and involved alumni community is key to the success and future of Washington Adventist University. Here’s how you can get involved:
- Continue to pray for our campus, students, faculty, and staff
- Volunteer to teach classes or workshops, mentor students or join the Alumni Association
- Make a donation to the University, to the Alumni Scholarship Fund. Consider making a gift in the amount of your class year, i.e. if you graduated in 1970, make a gift of $19.70, $197.00 or maybe even $1,970.00. We want to continue to ensure students will have the ability to receive a Christian Seventh-day Adventist education here at WAU
