MISSION STATEMENT<br />

To represent <strong>Kettering</strong> <strong>University</strong> with enthusiasm and integrity in securing Alumni support of <strong>University</strong> initiatives.<br />

The <strong>Kettering</strong>/GMI Alumni Association is a world-wide organization of over 30,000 graduates. Governed by a 28-member elected Board of<br />

Directors, the association sponsors services and programs for alumni as well as for students and faculty.<br />

Programs include class reunions and the annual Alumni Weekend, a network of alumni clubs throughout the U.S. and around the world. In<br />

addition, the Association annually sponsors the Distinguished Alumnus Scholarship. Alumni keep in touch with the <strong>University</strong> through the<br />

<strong>Kettering</strong> Alumni News, and a Home Page on the Internet www.kettering.edu/alumni/.<br />

Also, each year at Alumni Day, alumni may be recognized for their professional accomplishments with the following awards:<br />

• Engineering Achievement • Distinguished Alumnus/Alumna<br />

• Management Achievement • Alumni Service<br />

• Civic Achievement • Entrepreneurial Achievement<br />

• Outstanding Achievement • Human Relations<br />

• Special Recognition • Young Alumni Achievement<br />

In recent years, the Association has established a network of Class Agents and Class Secretaries to serve as liaisons between <strong>Kettering</strong> and<br />

each graduating class. A network of alumni has been created to assist the <strong>University</strong> in student recruitment, coop employer recruitment, and<br />

fund raising.<br />

In addition, the Association supports the <strong>Kettering</strong> Endowment Fund. Alumni contributions support student scholarships, fellowships and<br />

grants, the Richard P. Scharchburg Archives, faculty enrichment programs, laboratories and equipment additions, library investments, and<br />

facilities improvements.<br />

The <strong>Kettering</strong> Student Alumni Council (SAC), a student organization sponsored by the Alumni Association, fosters interaction between<br />

alumni and students through various activities such as the Visiting Alumnus/Alumna Speaker Program, Alumni Day, workshops, fund<br />

raising, and tours.<br />

<strong>Kettering</strong> alumni are recognized throughout the world for their accomplishments and leadership in business, industry, and other professions.
