Alumni Association

The Alumni Association strives to keep alumni connected with events, programs, and benefits. Activities of the Alumni Association are supported by our Affinity Partners TD Insurance and Manulife.

The Alumni Council is comprised of a group of volunteers who consult with the Alumni office on events and programs for students and alumni. If you are interested in becoming a member of the Alumni Council, please submit a cover letter and resume to the Alumni office (alumni@smu.ca) by July 31, 2023.

New Council members will be elected in September. Members of the Alumni Council are expected to attend six meetings per year including the Annual General Meeting, sit on at least one committee (Engagement, Homecoming, Awards and Nominations, Golf Tournament), attend alumni events, and be an ambassador to Saint Mary’s University in the community.
