Welcome
The Office of Alumni Relations develops, coordinates and fosters programs and events to keep alumni involved and connected to Tarleton State University, fellow classmates and students. Alumni Relations works in conjunction with the Alumni Association (a non-profit organization) by co-sponsoring events such as The Distinguished Alumni Gala, Silver Taps, Alumni Academic Forum and Homecoming Reunions.
The ultimate goal is to make a positive difference and and encourage success for future generations of Tarleton Texans. This can only be accomplished with a combination of support from a variety of ways; either financial gifts, gifts of time or being an advocate of Tarleton State University on and off campus.
