Alumni Relations

Not only do we want to assist you in reconnecting with your alma mater but also in making new connections. It is exciting to be involved in UW Oshkosh’s continued growth and success.

Volunteer

One of the most rewarding ways to get involved with your alma mater and rekindle your Titan spirit is to volunteer. Each year, hundreds of alumni from every walk of life and corner of the globe give back to UW Oshkosh by mentoring current students, serving on committees or by hosting alumni gatherings. Whether your involvement touches a few friends or a few hundred, you are making a positive difference in the lives of others.
