Attend Events
Network with fellow alumni, learn about Stetson updates and strengthen your professional circle by connecting with your alma mater. This is one of the most impactful ways a Hatter can keep up with all things Stetson, and it’s one of the most rewarding ways to remain connected to the university and fellow Alumni.
Be a part of the Max Cleland Leadership Stetson Program.
Leadership Stetson is modeled after leadership programs offered by local Chambers of Commerce and other organizations. The purpose is to educate alumni about the inner workings of the university and provide an avenue for them to become involved in volunteer roles that are most appropriate for them.
Leadership Stetson has become a prestigious and competitive opportunity for Stetson alumni to engage with their alma mater and university leaders on an in-depth, personal level.
The next Leadership Stetson will occur in early 2025, on the DeLand Campus. If you want to learn more about this exciting program, please contact the Office of Alumni Engagement at 386-822-7480 or [email protected].
