Student Engagement

The 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ Division of Philanthropy and Alumni Engagement is committed to fostering a culture of engagement and giving among our students, starting from the moment you step on campus. We firmly believe that a Rebel's journey with philanthropy and alumni engagement should not wait until graduation—it begins the moment you join the Rebels Forever community. We encourage students to get involved through our various initiatives to learn more about how you can give back to 51³Ô¹ÏºÚÁÏ and make the most of your student experience.
