Redeemer University College

Alumni Governance

Alumni programming is a joint effort between the Alumni Office at Redeemer and the Alumni Association Council of Directors. Together, they lead and direct the Redeemer Alumni Association, an organization of more than 3600 alumni. All former Redeemer students who have completed 8 courses or more are automatically members of the Redeemer Alumni Association.

Through the work of the Council and the Alumni Office, the Association remains active in the lives of students, alumni and the university through a variety of activities and events. Increasingly, alumni are taking a greater role in the governance and promotion of Redeemer University College.

The Council is assisted by many other alumni who volunteer their time to serve on committees or do other work on behalf of alumni and Redeemer. If you are interested in serving on the Council or otherwise volunteering for the Association, please contact the Alumni Office.
