The IUAA activates and supports the global alumni network – encouraging alumni to grow a lifelong connection with Indiana University and inspiring their ongoing generosity toward each other and IU. Our work supporting and engaging alumni embraces the core values of the IUAA:
- Collaboration: We work together to achieve common goals.
- Commitment: We serve each other, our alumni, and the university with professionalism and integrity.
- Inclusion: We work to create an inclusive culture that is committed to diversity, belonging, and equity.
- Pride: We share and celebrate the best of the past, present, and future of IU.
In addition to supporting our core values as listed, we encourage units to embrace the following IUAA priorities when developing successful alumni engagement programming:
- Cultivate belonging. To ensure a welcoming, equitable, diverse, and inclusive community, we will challenge discrimination and our inherent biases.
- Deepen alumni loyalty. To build the alumni community, we will learn how alumni identify with IU and each other, and then offer relevant experiences that encourage stronger commitment.
- Strengthen alumni relations across IU. We will collaborate with IU stakeholders and support efforts to engage more deeply with their alumni audiences.
