The purpose of the University of Mary Washington Alumni Association is threefold: to promote the welfare and support the mission of the University of Mary Washington; to encourage an enduring relationship with the University by deepening alumni and student loyalty; and to develop and strengthen the bonds of mutual interest within the University community. 

The Office of Alumni Relations works with the Alumni Association and its Board of Directors to facilitate communication to and amongst alumni, as well as to provide opportunities for alumni to be involved in the life of the University.

Each year, the Alumni Association offers programs and activities consistent with the goals and objectives of the institution. These programs occur both on campus and in alumni Regional Networks and are designed to foster relationships between alumni and Mary Washington. Programming includes large, signature campus-based events like the Eagle Crawl, Homecoming, and Reunion Weekend, as well as smaller gatherings around the country where Regional Networks have formed. Affinity Groups also have been launched to connect alumni based on their previous student activities and organizations. All alumni are encouraged to keep their contact information updated in order to receive invitations to events.
