Alumni Association Activities
Planning and Promoting Homecoming
Each year Johnson University hosts Homecoming for alumni and friends. The Alumni Association officers develop the theme, plan the program, and secure the speakers for main sessions and workshops. A major portion of the expense of this event is paid by the Alumni Association.
Selecting Distinguished Servants
Each year an honor committee may choose to nominate individuals or couples to receive the Distinguished Service Award from the Alumni Association. Those selected are people of exceptional commitment and integrity who have demonstrated extraordinary service in work related to the purpose of the University or have given outstanding service to the University.
Selecting Honorary Alumni
Each year a number of people who have demonstrated a long-term interest in Johnson University through their prayers and gifts are elected as honorary alumni by the Alumni Association.
Maintaining the Voting Membership
Voting members of the Alumni Association are those alumni who have paid their current annual alumni dues. The dues are $25 per person or $35 per couple. Retired alumni pay only $20 per person or $25 per couple. Reminders are sent to all alumni at least two times a year.
Encouraging Graduating Classes
The Alumni Association assists and encourages each graduating class to actively participate in the Association and to establish a permanent scholarship fund in their class name. The Alumni Association matches whatever gift the class gives, thus doubling the initial amount in their fund. The Alumni Association also waives the membership dues for the graduating seniors for the first year, making them eligible to vote and be nominated for the Council of Seventy.
Supporting Johnson Capital Campaigns
The Alumni Association gives generously each year to the current capital campaign conducted by the University. The capital campaigns pay for major construction, fund new academic programs, and increase permanent funds. Learn more about the current Uncommon Community campaign.
