The Office of Institutional Advancement & Alumni Engagement is proud to serve the more than 48,000 Peacock alumni. Our goal is to continue building a mutually beneficial relationship with you, starting as a UIU student and extending long after commencement. We strive to keep you informed of University events, reach out with alumni news, help connect you with former classmates, take advantage of exclusive alumni perks and make you aware of volunteer opportunities, fundraising initiatives, leadership opportunities and more!

Please keep us informed so we can keep you informed. Use the alumni update form to let us know how to contact you. Twice a year, we publish The Bridge magazine and mail to all alumni. We encourage you to send us updates on your career status, exciting milestones in your life, or other exciting news so we may recognize your achievements in our popular “Class Notes.”  Also, add a bookmark to The Bridge Online so you can stay up-to-date with the latest UIU happenings.

As always, feedback from our alumni is appreciated. We value your ideas and suggestions and look forward to hearing from you. We will listen attentively and take action accordingly to ensure UIU is doing everything possible for you to continue being proud of your alma mater.
