| Welcome
to the Western College Alumnae
Association, the only alumnae association
in the United States, perhaps in the
world, with no direct parent institution.
The
Incorporated Association came into
existence in 1974 when Western
College closed due to financial
difficulties and the campus was purchased
by Miami University. A Board
of fifteen trustees, elected from the
membership to serve three-year terms,
administers the business of the Alumnae
Association. Since that time, the
Association has been VERY lively, and in
2012 celebrated its 38th Anniversary.
Including alums of the Western Program,
our membership numbers about 4,200
throughout the United States and the
world.

The
mission of the Association is two-fold:
To
preserve communication within the
Western family
To
support education and human values.
Communication
is preserved through the publication of
a semi-annual alumnae magazine, The
Bulletin, periodic e-mail
newsletter, annual club meetings across
the U.S. and an all-class Alumnae Weekend on the
Western Campus each June.
Education
and human values are supported in many
ways. Since its inception, the
Association has awarded over $2,000,000
in scholarships, endowed a Western College Professorship, a Faculty
Lecture Series, a Young Artist Concert
Series, a teaching award and three
learning centers on the Western campus.
