Vision, Mission, and Statement of Philosophy
- Vision Statement
To build a passionate Wildcat Nation.
- Mission
The mission of the Association is to support the Central Washington University community through cultivation, engagement and development of its alumni and friends.
- Statement of Philosophy
We believe that Central Washington University should be a cooperative enterprise, a community of students, faculty, staff, and alumni, whom collectively and individually, all are responsible for developing, supporting, and sustaining the objectives of CWU. We believe that our alumni comprise an integral and inseparable part of CWU and that all alumni have a continuing obligation to serve and support their alma mater. We believe that our alumni can serve CWU by joining together in an organized association which can promote and focus support and service and that the concepts for developing the Association’s organizational policies should be determined by the alumni themselves. We believe that it should be the function of Association to work with CWU to develop ways and means of alumni engagement, involvement, and communication with their alma mater and to see that alumni are recognized as a respected and integral part of CWU.
