Get Involved

Were you aware that alumni engagement plays a prominent role in rankings of colleges and universities? Who doesn’t want their diploma to hold more value?

Want to know more about the many ways to give back and contribute? First, share your accomplishments with us by submitting a Class Note. You might be in an upcoming magazine!

Let’s consider some of the many ways to stay involved:

Time

Contribute your time to Bridgewater College by serving on the Bridgewater College Alumni Association board of directors or a reunion planning committee. You could also use your time to volunteer: as a mentor, speaker at a college fair or panel, advocate for the college to prospective high school students or host of an event in your area, etc.

Talent

Your talents can be a huge benefit to the College. Firsthand knowledge and experience are some of the best learning tools. Participate in our annual Career Connections Fair. Offer a student to shadow you at your place of business or consider offering an internship if you are able. Follow us on the Alumni LinkedIn Group so we can congratulate you on career successes.

Treasure

Make a gift of any size. Don’t forget to ask your employer if they match contributions! Some choose to make gifts of appreciated securities, such as stocks and mutual funds, which could be beneficial when filing tax returns. Your support of Bridgewater College students, faculty and staff help Eagles Soar to new heights. Learn more by visiting bridgewater.edu/give.
