Reflecting interests and backgrounds, our affinity groups—people connected by a common interest or goal—contribute to leadership development, policy formation and advocacy events and activities, while providing personal and professional networking opportunities for members. Currently, we have five affinity groups: African American Alumni Association, CWRU Pride: The LGBT Alumni Network, Jewish Alumni Network, Undergraduate Student Government and the Latine Alumni Association.
Each affinity group connects alumni with similar goals in mind. You can help your group achieve those goals by working with a liaison from The Alumni Association and joining the group’s leadership team. Created by The Alumni Association Board, this guide gives an accurate picture of what is involved with affinity group leadership:
