Message From The President

 

Dear Alumni and Friends of VSU,

Carpenter RoundThank you for visiting the Virginia State University Alumni Association website!

It is my pleasure to share the incredible history and work of our Alumni Association through our website. This site is designed to provide alums and friends with valuable information about the events and activities of our Association and beloved Alma Mater, Virginia State University (VSU).

As you peruse our website, we hope you will see that we offer opportunities for alums to meet one another, network, share college memories, and promote VSU to a new generation.

While we know your visit to our website will be informative, engaging, and enjoyable, please keep in mind that we've only given you a glimpse of all that our Association has to offer. Therefore, after your online visit, I invite you to connect with a local chapter in your area and attend one of their many alumni-friendly activities and events held throughout the year to see firsthand the benefits of why you should join us in our efforts. If there is no chapter in your area, we encourage you to consider starting one. We can't wait to provide you with a warm Trojan welcome!

Again, welcome to our website, and thanks for visiting. Don't forget to bookmark this site as one of your favorites and return each week or month to see new updates and features. We look forward to this site serving our alumni's growing and changing needs.

In Trojan Spirit,

Laurie M. Carpenter, VSU Class of '12 & '87

News From The VSUAA Chaplain

Thank you for Joining Our First VSUAA Prayer Call of the Year!

Dear VSU Alumni,

We extend our heartfelt gratitude to each of you who joined us for the first Virginia State University Alumni Association Prayer Call of 2025. Your presence, prayers, and unity in faith created a powerful and uplifting experience for all.

Because of your engagement and the positive feedback we received, we are excited to announce that the prayer call will continue once a month!  Beginning in March, we will gather in prayer at 9 AM on the first Saturday of each month through December. We look forward to strengthening our spiritual connection and support for one another as we lift up our alma mater and our communities in prayer.

As we embark on this journey together, we are reminded of the words in 1 Corinthians 12:12-14:  

“Just as a body, though one, has many parts, but all its many parts form one body, so it is with Christ. For we were all baptized by one Spirit so as to form one body—whether Jews or Gentiles, slave or free—and we were all given the one Spirit to drink. Even so, the body is not made up of one part but of many.”

Our collective strengths as alumni across the country make us a force for good, and through this prayer call, we continue to unite in purpose, faith, and service.  With gratitude and excitement, we invite you to mark your calendars and join us in prayer each month. A flyer with login details will be sent out soon.

Together, we are Building a Bridge to Greater!

Blessings,

Rev. Kenyana Dawson
VSUAA Chaplain
