The office of Alumni Relations enhances the lifelong relationship between the university and its graduates. Alumni are encouraged to return to campus and participate in traditional activities such as Homecoming and Alumni Reunion Weekend. Additionally, CMU alumni can get involved in affinity alumni chapters and regional networks.
The Alumni Office helps foster a sense of spirit and pride in Central Michigan University. The Alumni Relations Office also publishes Centralight, the alumni magazine, in print three times annually for alumni and friends who are Gold Members of the alumni association or donors to CMU and online as a source of campus and alumni news.
CMU encourages alumni to enjoy an ongoing relationship with the university and to remain active with their alma mater. In recognition of this lifelong relationship, Central Michigan University has dedicated the Carlin Alumni House on campus to welcome home over 250,000 CMU graduates.
