'We Belong'
Find out why you should join the Alumni Association
"I’m proud to say that all of my siblings and I are UW-La Crosse graduates," says Corey Sjoquist, '96 and '03. "We were also Vanguards, and in that role, we gave campus tours and invited prospective students to belong to the UW-L family. Now we’re all Alumni Association members, and we’re inviting you to belong to a group that's excited about UW-La Crosse and all it has to offer. Join today and help us continue the success that makes our alma mater great."
Membership keeps you informed through the Alumnus magazine and provides discounts on auto, home and long-term care insurance — and much more while supporting programs that strengthen UW-L. Look for personal stories of why alums and friends belong to the Alumni Association during this year’s membership campaign.
