time, not their money. They may not be fundraising or political events.<br />
• Events should be discussed in advance with the Office of <strong>Alumni</strong> Affairs to ensure they<br />
meet these guidelines.<br />
• There are, on occasion, opportunities to partner with the Center for Outreach,<br />
Volunteerism and Education (COVE) and student projects. Please contact the Office of<br />
<strong>Alumni</strong> Affairs for assistance.<br />
