Office of Alumni
The Alumni Association helps alumni
stay connected with the university
and with each other.
The William Carey Alumni Association connects active alumni with the university, provides support for various alumni events, and fosters pride for the university.
William Carey; we will love thee,
Loyal we will be;
And we will ever sing thy praises;
Hail, all hail to thee.
Lifting high the light of knowledge,
Answering the clarion call,
Thou has made thy sons and daughters
Staunch crusaders all.
Thou has taught us love and honor,
Taught us truth and right,
While fitting every new crusader
With thine armor bright.
May the God, who made thee worthy,
Keep thee ever truly free;
May His spirit, Alma Mater,
Ever dwell with thee.

WCU Legacy Recruitment
Carey alumni play a vital role in keeping the Crusader spirit alive. Carey roots run deep, and many of you already have multiple Carey graduates in your family.
Carey Kids is a legacy engagement program designed to foster Carey loyalty and excite children and grandchildren of alumni about their future at the university. The newest generation of Crusaders will receive birthday cards, gifts, and invitations to university events throughout childhood. Children ages 0-16 are eligible, and there is no cost to alumni for this program.
In an effort to engage with our alumni and students better, we have implemented a new email newsletter platform. With this change, we are also working to ensure that we have an accurate list of subscribers and need your help to do so.
We certainly want to continue providing you with all the exciting news and events Carey has to offer. If you would like to continue receiving our Alumni newsletter, you must subscribe below.
