Alumni Association

In fact, everyone who has earned a degree or diploma from UMass Boston and all of its predecessor institutions (Boston Normal School, Teachers College of the City of Boston, State Teachers College at Boston, State College at Boston, Boston State College), all those who have been enrolled as a matriculated student for a period of two semesters, and whose classes have graduated, are eligible for membership in the Alumni Association. You can become an active member of the Alumni Association by making a $25 annual contribution and receive several valuable benefits and services that we offer our alumni. You may also mail your contribution to the Office of Alumni Relations.
