    The VSU Class Coordinator Program comprises a loyal group of alumni representing their individual class years. Class Coordinators are considered University ambassadors who help build a strong connection between classmates and the University.
    Class Coordinators are some of the most valuable volunteers for the University. Job requirements are simple: a minimal time commitment and the interest to keep in touch with VSU classmates and friends. Being a class coordinator is a great way to remain involved after graduation, and you can be as active as your schedule allows.
    Class Coordinators work with the VSU Alumni Office to:
    • Communicate regularly with classmates via letters, calls, emails, or social networking Websites.
    • Keep classmates up-to-date on VSU events and news.
    • Encourage and increase participation in alumni activities such as regional events and reunions.
    • Brainstorm additional ways to keep your class connected.
    • Serve as a reunion planning committee member in your special reunion years.
    • Promote class giving and participation 
    • Provide the University of Institutional Advancement with updated contact information for classmates
    If you want to become a class coordinator, please get in touch with the VSU Alumni Relations Office at (804) 524- 5045 or email alumni@vsu.edu.
    (If you don't see your class year represented, please consider becoming a coordinator)
