Historical NoteReturn to Top
The University of Utah Alumni Association was founded in 1886 by a small group of Normal School students in order to promote general interest in education and bolster connections with the University and each other. In 1925, a nationwide system of alumni clubs was organized for the immediate purpose of raising funds for the original Union Building, now Kingsbury Hall. The Association's early objectives included establishing regional clubs, compiling a directory of all graduates, sponsoring class reunions, publishing an alumni magazine, and instituting an annual giving plan.
