Alumni

The Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology Alumni Association was formed by the Class of 1913. Graduates of two year degreed programs or equivalent are welcomed into the Alumni Association.

The Alumni Association

The purpose of the Alumni Association is to:

  • Build engagement throughout the College’s alumni base through annual giving as well as other ways of supporting the College to help raise its profile and welcome a growing student body.
  • Plan quality programs and events accessible to all alumni, providing opportunities for the alumni community to reconnect and support the interests of Thaddeus Stevens College.
  • Promote lifelong relationships throughout the College’s alumni, fostering a spirit of loyalty among graduates, current students, friends, and the community.
  • Create an engaged network of former graduates to support recruitment and diversity on the alumni board.
  • Honor the memory of Thaddeus Stevens.

The Alumni Association is governed by a Board of Governors who volunteer their time and oversee the many special events and reunions sponsored by the Alumni Association. If you have an interest in serving on the board and/or helping to plan events, please contact the Alumni Office.

The Thaddeus Stevens College of Technology Alumni Association currently has more than 9,000 living alumni in the United States. We encourage you to join the Alumni Association and stay connected with your alma mater!
