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.
2009-2010 Board of Directors
The board of directors is responsible
for guiding the planning and activity of the
Valencia Alumni Association in collaboration
with the college. Board members serve as advisors
to the college, as well as ambassadors to students,
other alumni and the community. They build enthusiasm
for college and association programs, encourage
involvement and recruit new board members, members
and supporters.
Dear Alumni and Friends,
The Valencia Alumni Association was founded in 1979 for the purpose of providing a means for a continuing relationship between the college and its alumni. Thanks to the ongoing support and volunteerism of Valencia’s alumni and friends, we are able to accomplish the association’s mission of developing a sense of community among alumni and to promote the lifelong personal, educational and professional growth of alumni and students of the college. Many opportunities are available for you to stay connected to Valencia, including the popular annual 5K Run, Walk & Roll, designed to allow maximum overall community participation while also raising funds to support Valencia students through scholarships and other assistance. The 5th Annual 5K Run, Walk & Roll will take place on March 21, 2010.
I encourage you to keep your information updated with us so that we can continue to offer you opportunities to strengthen and maintain your Valencia Alumni connections.
All the best,
George Ruiz
