The Alumni Relations Team is ready to help you form an alumni chapter in you area. Please take a few moments to read the information below to learn about what's involved. We look forward to hearing from you soon.
 
How can I start forming an alumni chapter in my area?
Getting started is easier than you may think. The first step in forming a chapter is deciding that you are willing to serve as a Chapter Leader. Chapter Leaders across the country organize local alumni and keep them connected to Seton Hall. As a Chapter Leader you will be responsible for the overall operation of the chapter, with assistance from the Office of Alumni Relations. The amount of time you spend on your chapter is up to you, you are not expected to make your Regional Chapter your full time job. You may find it beneficial to find one or two other dedicated alumni to assist you. For instance, the Los Angeles Chapter is currently operated by three Chapter Leaders.
 
I'm ready...what do I do next?
Once you have decided that you're ready to become a Chapter Leader, it's time to fill out the Chapter Leader Interest Form. Your form will be reviewed by Alumni Relations and you will be contacted shortly thereafter. Once your form is processed it will be time to begin contacting alumni in your area. Alumni Relations will supply you with a list of graduates who live within a certain geographic range. Once you receive your list you can contact local alumni to gauge their interest in getting involved and participating in a kick-off event. You will also want to ask each graduate if he/she is interested in helping you get the group off the ground by taking part of your list to make contacts on behalf of the chapter.
 
How will the Office of Alumni Relations help me?
The Alumni Team is here to assist you in your efforts. While Chapter Leaders are responsible for organizing events and gauging group interest in certain activities, you won't be out on your own. Alumni Relations will act as a resource for you to mail invitations, suggest event and meeting ideas and provide other forms of support. Dan Nugent is the Regional Chapter contact in our office and is available to you by phone (1-800-992-GRAD) and e-mail nugentda@shu.edu.
 
What types of activities do current chapters participate in?
Current Alumni Chapters hold social events such as cocktail parties, receptions for Seton Hall guest speakers and Sesquicentennial parties. Some chapters choose to hold networking events such as business card exchanges. Other popular events include service activities, outings to athletic events and Seton Hall Pirate game watches. Each summer Seton Hall holds send-off events for incoming freshman around the country as well.
