Want to Network?

If you would like help searching for a job, locating former students or just distributing information, you can register for UIW's Online Alumni Directory. The Directory is for all alumni and past students with computer capability and a desire to communicate with one another.

Once the Alumni Office verifies your status, you can enter and update your own information using a secured username and password you create to safeguard your entries. So far, nearly 850 former students have registered with the network.

To join the Directory, visit www.uiw.edu/alumni/anet/ and follow the easy instructions. And remember, registration is not automatic; you will receive an email once your status has been verified and your registration validated.

Credit Card $

Thanks to all who regularly use their MBNA UIW affinity credit card. As you know, UIW receives a percentage quarterly on all credit card use and it doesn't cost alumni or the university anything extra. We now receive annual revenue of $4,000 from MBNA, which goes directly to the Faculty Development Endowment to continue to improve the quality of classroom teaching. And, we can use the revenue for matching Federal dollars, so it's a win-win.

McCracken Alumni Referral Scholarship

The Executive Council of the University, in conjunction with the offices of Admissions, Public Relations, Alumni, and Financial Assistance, established a student scholarship opportunity called the McCracken Alumni Referral Scholarship (MARS) program. MARS was established to recognize UIW alumni as effective participants in recruiting new students. Alumni are uniquely qualified to assist us in passing on the "legacy" and helping to strengthen the connection between our graduates and the university.

MARS was named in honor of Richard McCracken, long-time dean of alumni, in recognition of his many years of service and loyalty to UIW and its graduates. The program asks UIW alumni to identify prospective students who will benefit from UIW education and uphold the mission of the Sisters of Charity of the Incarnate Word. Students receiving this award must meet the guidelines outlined below:

Students selected to receive the MARS award will be notified by mail. You can download a nomination form at www.uiw.edu/alumni/, or we can mail one at your request: Alumni Office (800) 584-5322.
