Association links grads to University
By Tim Hrenchir

About 750 graduating seniors munched on free hamburgers and drank free beer and soft drinks last week at Alumni Association's senior cookout.
Graduation
B. J. Pattie, director of recruitment for the Alumni Association, said the biggest payoff from accruing membership won't come for at least a decade.
"We won't start getting the larger
numbers of a class to join until 10 or 15 years out," she said. "After that, the percentages keep rising."
The percentage of a class's membership in the association rises in almost direct proportion to the number of students has been out of school. Pattee said.
As of February, the Alumni Association had mailing addresses for more than 158,000 alumni. The Association has about 34,000 members.
Consequently, the association
makes a point of keeping in touch with alumni who are not members.
"If you've been out of school one year, we might have gotten in touch with you one time," Pattie said. "But if you've been out of school 10 years, we've probably contacted you 20 times."
Pattee gave five main reasons why older alumni join the association in larger numbers.
Many graduating seniors don't have the money to join the Alumni Association, but the older alumni can
afford it.
The longer alumni are away from KU, the more they realize what the University has given them. And they have given something back to the University.
Over the years, alumni receive a lot of encouragement from the Alumni Association to join.
As children of some alumni grow up and go to college, those alumni often will join to show their support for KU.
