Tech Golden Bear Alumni Association

Our Mission: The Tech Golden Bear Alumni Association is committed to preserving and sharing the history and achievements of WVU Tech alumni while bridging the gap between former, current and future Golden Bears.


ABOUT THE ASSOCIATION

Golden Bear Alumni Networking

How does TGBAA support Golden Bears?

TGBAA is committed to raising funds to support students and enhance their experiences at WVU Tech. The funds raised by the TGBAA are used to support the initiatives, programs and events at WVU Tech. Some of the events and activities TGBAA has supported include:

  • STEM Outreach Initiatives (Discover Engineering Day, Introduce Girl to Engineering Day, K-12 outreach throughout the year)
  • Tech Summer Camps (STEM, Forensics, Nursing)
  • Student Life and Career Services programs (career fair, mock interviews, etiquette dinner, new student orientations, etc.)
  • University events (homecoming, graduation, etc.)
  • Alumni events

Donations to the TGBAA general fund will be distributed among several outreach initiatives. Half of the contribution will be applied to the TGBAA Scholarship Fund and 50% will support the initiatives and programs in the bulleted list above. 

To further support student and alumni programming and other areas of greatest need for the campus, the Tech Golden Bear Alumni Association has shifted their focus completely to fundraising for these efforts and recognizing alumni for their contributions. TGBAA eliminated the dues requirement for membership in October 2020. TGBAA extends membership to all Golden Bear graduates, regardless of dues payment or financial contribution.

Alumni Legacy Circle

TGBAA has launched a new recognition program, the Golden Bear Alumni Legacy Circle, for those who have supported TGBAA and WVU Tech.

Those who are recognized will need to give permission for their name to be listed. Giving totals won't be provided, but donors will be listed within their respective giving level. Those who have given at least $250 since the establishment of the TGBAA funds with the WVU Foundation will be recognized for their total giving to any WVU Tech fund. 

We wish to honor our alumni who are paying forward the gift of a Tech education.
