Membership Program

Why does Membership matter?

Building community is at the heart of the Alumni Association’s mission. Membership in the Alumni Association helps you celebrate the UVA alumni experience, whether you’re eating dinner under the stars at Reunions, connecting with alumni near and far, or introducing your future Hoos to UVA. It also means the Alumni Association matters to you and it should exist to serve our community.

How do I become a member?

You can apply for Membership online. If you’d like to apply for Membership by mail, please call 434-243-9000 and ask for Membership to begin the application process.

What benefits do I receive?

Contributing Members receive an array of benefits including special access opportunities like early Reunions registration and a Contributing Member-exclusive perks platform, as well as all the benefits of General Membership. General Membership recognizes all alumni as members of the Alumni Association through benefits including access to Virginia Magazine and Alumni Association events and programs.
