This One Goes to 11: Too Many Member Benefits for a Mere Top-10 List |
|
If the UW Alumni Association were a city, it would be bigger than Olympia. Why do more than 50,000 UW graduates and friends choose to belong to the UWAA? We’ll give you one good reason … followed by 10 more.
1. Membership entitles you to a free UW Libraries card, with borrowing privileges at all 20 UW Libraries facilities.
2. Membership dues help support the many fantastic lectures, football rallies, reunions, career workshops and other events sponsored by the UWAA—all of which members can attend at a 20 percent discount.
3. If you’re reading this—and, apparently, you are—you know the value of Columns magazine. Membership supports it, and only members are eligible to publish their news in the Alumnotes section.
4. Belonging to the UWAA gives you exclusive access to the Husky Career Network, which puts a wealth of career-related contacts and information at your fingertips.
5. Members save 10 percent on all drinks at Tully’s. And that’s just one of the dozens of merchants that offer discounts through the Dawg Deals/Preferred Partners program, one of our most popular member benefits.
6. Dues are tax-deductible.
7. Membership supports student scholarships—around $200,000 worth of financial aid to deserving students in a given year.
8. Our online directory keeps members connected with their friends and former classmates.
9. Members are extra mobile because of all the travel-related discounts they receive—on airport parking, car rentals, hotels, etc.
10. During the months of March, June, September and December, UWAA members save 10 percent on virtually all their University Book Store purchases.
11. Members are in good company—50,000 Huskies (and counting) can’t be wrong.
And that’s just the tip of the iceberg. For a full rundown of UWAA member benefits, visit UWalum.com.
