Connect with Other Alumni and Doane

Alumni chapters and groups are a great way to not only connect with other Doane graduates, but also help continue the 150 years of tradition at Doane.

Alumni Chapter Goals

Alumni chapters, whether in-person or online, serve as a vital connection between alumni and the university. They offer opportunities for Doane graduates to remain actively engaged in the life of the institution through leadership, inquiry, ethical values, and meaningful interactions. These chapters play an essential role in supporting the mission of Doane University and strengthening our community.

The purpose and goals of Doane University alumni chapters are:

  • To establish and maintain a closer connection between Doane University and its alumni and friends.
  • To advance the interests and welfare of the University and today's students.
  • Promote alumni participation in the development and advancement of the University through financial support.
  • To provide a variety of opportunities for Doane University alumni to interact with each other while engaging with the College in a meaningful way.

What Makes a Successful Alumni Chapter

A successful alumni chapter is one that provides opportunities for Doane University alumni to maintain an active role in the life of the College. Alumni chapters are a great way to enhance Doane as nothing else can, because they are volunteer driven. They serve and respond to local alumni, assist in recruiting good students, demonstrate the public pride in the College, and help with the University’s fundraising efforts. The spirit of Doane lasts a lifetime.
