Young Alumni League

St. Lawrence University continues to engage its young alumni audience of the last 10 years with a series of programs, events and appeals.

As a Young Alumni League member, you're encouraged to connect with and re-engage fellow classmates about the importance of participation with the university and staying engaged.

Playing for a Cause

The Young Alumni League is a unique form of volunteer gamification.  Committee members engage with the program as players/team members in a competition that closely mirrors fantasy sports.  At the end of the year the committee member with the most points wins the title ‘Young Alumni Philanthropist of the Year’.

Committee Member Responsibilities:

•  Each committee member drafts a team of 20 people from the class, then throughout the year score points any time one of the people on their team does one of the point category actions. (Make a gift, attend an event, etc.)

•  Make a gift of any amount to the St. Lawrence Fund within the Fiscal Year. We encourage committee members to make their pledge before December 31 to serve as an example to other committee members and classmates.

***How scoring points works***
