The UA Online Society creates opportunities for alumni to connect with fellow graduates, support current and future students by investing in CCS programs, and engage with the College of Continuing Studies to promote lifelong learning initiatives. Gifts have an immediate and significant impact. Through scholarships and support, funds generated help bridge the gap between access to quality education and financial need, and they increase opportunities to deliver dynamic programs to wider audiences. All UA Online alumni and supporters are invited to join the Society.
