- Organize and host at least one informal alumnus social gathering per year (get-together at a pub, restaurant, winery, bowling alley, museum, sporting event, etc.)
- Be an ambassador for Florida Tech's 37 Hours of Giving by sharing the information with your local alumni network and encouraging them to participate.
