As part of the University's overall advancement effort, the alumni relations program is critical. It needs the support of alumni volunteers who, together with the staff, help the institution achieve its goals and maintain positive relations with the alumni population. The University of New Mexico Alumni Relations Office has two complementary missions: 1) to provide a means for the University to communicate with and serve alumni and 2) to provide a means for alumni to communicate with and serve the University. The underlying intent of this partnership is to ensure the University of New Mexico's continued excellence and to communicate that excellence to others. The University of New Mexico Alumni Association and the Alumni Relations Office are the primary and most important link between the University and more than 143,000 alumni. Through its services, progran1s and partnerships, the Alumni Relations Office strives to promote positive feelings, understanding, and support for the University. The progran1s of the Alumni Relations Office and the Alumni Association can be categorized by 1) service to alumni 2) service to the University and 3) service mutually beneficial to both alumni and the University.
