It's very likely someone helped you along your journey.
Now it can be your turn.

We're looking for alumni who are willing to share their experience, encourage others, and help fellow alumni grow professionally.
You don't need to have all the answers.

All you need:
• Experience
• A willingness to listen and share
• One hour each month
• A desire to give back

Your time investment in another alum could make a lasting difference.

Interested, but want to hear more? Join the Zoom this Sunday at noon EDT! R.S.V.P. at https://uwpiaa.org/session-rsvp

If you weren't among those gathered at Alumni Week in Limerick this summer, you may not yet have heard about the Betty Belk Award which was presented in loving memory of Betty Belk by her family.

It honors those selected by the family who have the skill and passion to bridge divides, find connection, bring people together and make everyone feel like an honored friend.

Please join us in celebrating these deserving alumni, and enjoy reading the remarks which were shared from stage to recognize Mary McCullough and the German Alumni Association: https://uwpiaa.org/upbeat-news/betty-belk-award-presented-in-limerick

It's staggering to comprehend, but the UWPIAA has lost more than 1,000 alumni over the decades. We are missing photos and dates of death for approximately 450 of these alumni whom we know are no longer with us.

We are putting the call out in advance of Alumni Week this summer for cast and crew mates and/or the Cast/Crew Reps to submit a photo of any alumnus or alumna who is listed by name and cast year in this video so their faces can be remembered in UWPIAA's "In Memoriam" tribute video. Please visit uwpiaa.org, and choose "Alumni Memorial" under community to add a photo using the form on the webpage.
