Who Are We?

To put it simply, the Valencia Alumni Association helps Valencia’s alumni stay in touch with one another, students and with the college. Getting involved is the perfect way to know what’s going on with Valencia, other alumni and the community. The Association’s new Vitae magazine for Association members is an innovative way to stay connected to news, events, networking opportunities and everything Valencia.
