26 2001-2002 California State University, Fresno General Catalog
Alumni Association
The unofficial beginning of the
Fresno State Alumni Association
dates back to the first Fresno Normal
School graduating class of 1912. An
informal group of alumni would
meet frequently to discuss how they
could serve their school. Their
association was founded upon
mutual respect, motivation toward
community service, pride in one’s
alma mater, and genuine concern for
the school’s future.
The Fresno State Alumni Association
was incorporated in 1940 to promote
higher education; encourage commu-nication
among alumni, friends, and
former students; and support
bilateral exchange and participation
between community and university.
More than 140,000 Fresno State
graduates have migrated to every
state in the nation; many have
located abroad. The university
maintains database records of more
than 100,000 alumni and friends of
the university. Annual members
number approximately 3,500
and Life members number
approximately 1,600.
The Alumni Association is governed
by a 25-member board of volunteers
who represent all schools and colleges
of the university as well as students,
staff, and faculty. The university
president and the vice president for
University Advancement
each have a position
on the Board of Directors.
