University Updates Transition to "One Membership"

Emailed June 21, 2022

Dear Penn State Hampton Roads Member,

Announcing an exciting change in the Penn State Alumni Association membership model- WE ARE becoming ONE membership!

Starting in July, Association membership at the local and University level will be combined. This is a significant change that will make it easier for alumni to connect with the Penn State community when and where they want.

It also means that, moving forward, Alumni Association members will no longer pay separate dues to their chapter—instead, access to our chapter will be included as a core benefit with your Penn State Alumni Association membership.

No action is needed on your part! I encourage you to visit alumni.psu.edu/fullaccess for FAQs and to learn more about how bringing together chapter and Alumni Association membership will benefit the Penn State family.

We will still hold all the activities our chapter has become known for and raise our own scholarship funds. More information will be coming out from the Alumni Association, which will help clarify the details.

Additionally if you would like to contribute to our scholarship, please do so here: https://psuhr.org/scholarship

Thank you for being a part of the Hampton Roads Chapter of the Penn State Alumni Association

WE ARE!

Christian Howard, Penn State Hampton Roads President

University Announces Transition Plan to "One Membership"

(University Park, PA) Feb. 17, 2022

Exciting news!

Starting in July 2022, local chapters and the Alumni Association will be moving to a single dues approach for membership.

This means less confusion for alumni and friends about which group they have joined because when you join the Alumni Association, you will automatically become a member of your local chapter. If you travel regularly or spend your year in two different areas, you will have the opportunity to receive information from multiple local chapters without paying additional dues.

The new model will also allow us to expand the membership benefits that we are able to offer. Finally, since our chapter will no longer have to spend time and energy collecting dues, we will be able to focus more time on engaging alumni and friends in our area.

If you would like to learn more about this new approach, visit alumni.psu.edu/fullaccess.
