Alumni Association
The purpose of the Association is to develop and maintain a mutually beneficial relationship between Western Connecticut State University and its alumni by fostering a welcoming atmosphere for future and existing alumni; raising awareness through philanthropy and fundraising; and building lasting relationships among alumni, students, staff, and the greater Danbury community; and celebrating and honoring alumni. We offer trips and programs throughout the year and ask that alumni be a part of the university community. Watch for your weekly WOW (What’s on at Western) to see the happenings on campus and look for your special WCSU discounts offered to alumni.
