The Westminster Fund is Westminster’s top giving priority, and Alumni Class Agents are essential to the success of each year's fundraising campaign. Through peer-to-peer outreach, Class Agents reinforce the efforts of the Advancement Office to communicate the value of investing in the School, educate alumni about the importance in participating in the Annual Fund, and securing crucial financial support to continue to enhance the Westminster experience.

 

Reunions are an important time for alumni to come together and celebrate their Westminster experiences. Each alumni class celebrates Reunions every five years during Alumni Reunion Weekend held in the spring. With guidance from the Alumni Office, alumni event and fundraising volunteers help invite friends to the reunion, assist in the planning of the reunion party, or ask classmates to make a gift to the School in honor of your reunion.

Volunteer-driven and alumni-oriented, Wildcat Chapters provide our alumni the opportunity to connect to both one another and to Westminster. Our NYC, DC, and San Francisco Chapter Councils plan a variety of programs throughout the year including social, athletic, networking, and service opportunities. To learn more about our Alumni Chapter Councils, please email alumni@westminster.net.

For alumni who are passionate about Westminster and desire to more deeply invest in shaping, building, and promoting our Alumni programs, the Alumni Board is an ideal leadership role. While serving on the Alumni Board requires a regular commitment of time, it provides a great opportunity to gain a big picture understanding of our School's mission and core institutional priorities, be among the first to know about strategic decisions made by the Board of Trustees, and directly influence and positively impact our alumni programming.
