Alumni Association and the Alumni Council
The primary mission of the Delaware Valley University Alumni Association is to connect former students with their alma mater, fostering a strong sense of community and loyalty. The association provides opportunities for networking, career development, and giving back through donations, mentorship, and career guidance for current students. To connect with the alumni affairs office, email alumni@delval.edu.
The Delaware Valley University Alumni Council is a leadership group of alumni volunteers, that collaborates closely with university leadership to enhance alumni engagement. In addition to offering financial support, the council creates opportunities for alumni to connect with new students, current students, their families, and the broader alumni community.
The Alumni Council also selects the recipients of the five annual Alumni Association Student Scholarships, as well as the winners of the Alumni Achievement Awards. These awards are presented each fall during the Alumni Association Happy Hour and Achievement Award Dinner, held as part of Homecoming Weekend.
