Building Community
Our vision is to strengthen APU’s community by fostering integrated communication and networking, and enhancing the university for future generations.
Stay Engaged & connected

Network
Alumni and our Partners are part of our wider APU community. The strength of this community is in remaining engaged and continuing to network. We encourage our Alumni to keep in touch and love to hear when our partners hire an APU graduate! Sign up for the newsletter and reach out to our Advancement Team.
“The University’s strength is determined by its graduates, its alumni, out in the community and connected to the university.” – Past President Robert Onders
Upcoming Alumni Events
Homecoming
Each year in the fall, APU hosts a series of events for both current students and alumni to bring people together and celebrate as a wider community. Examples include: a block party, campus tours, tails from the trails, and a lot of shared food and drink.
Blue & Gold Event
Our annual fundraiser includes a dinner, an auction, and fun games. It is more fun than formal, and a great opportunity to get together and give back through raising funds for scholarships.
Watch for these and other events through our events calendar:
