Hello Fellow Alumni,

The objective of the Independent University Alumni Association at Lowell over the past 60 plus years has been, and continues to be, providing scholarships and grants to the students of the Lowell campus of the university.

During the early years of your Alumni Association (now the IUAAL), we were only able to give a few small scholarships to the students of the Lowell Textile Institute.  In the years that followed, through the efforts of dedicated volunteers and generous Alumni support, we have been able to create a very viable Association.  The IUAAL has been able to give the students of the Lowell campus tens of thousands of dollars in scholarships and grants each year.  More than 80% of every dollar that comes into the Association each year goes to providing these scholarships and grants.

In today’s economy the students need our support, and we still very much need your support to continue to give the Lowell campus students these much needed scholarships.
            There are several ways you can support your Alumni Association in our effort to financially help the Lowell campus students:

• Renew, or become a member of IUAAL ($35.00 or more is all it takes.)
• Make an additional donation when you become a member or renew your membership. (Donations can be made at anytime during the year.)
• Become a participant in the Association’s Affinity programs: Insurance (Automobile and/or Home).
• Set up a scholarship in your name or in memory of a loved one.
• Continue your giving after you are gone by including IUAAL in your will.
• Tell your friends who attended any of the schools listed below that we can use their support.

Visit our web site, www.iuaal.org, to learn more about the above.

            Remember, we do not use paid solicitors to call you.  The Independent University Alumni Association at Lowell is a volunteer organization.
           Feel free to contact us with any questions you might have concerning the Association.

Thank you for your support.                     John J. Carter, ‘58             Chair, Fund Raising Committee             Independent University Alumni Association at Lowell

Dear Friend of The INDEPENDENT UNIVERSITY ALUMNI ASSOCIATION at LOWELL:

As a member of The INDEPENDENT UNIVERSITY ALUMNI ASSOCIATION at LOWELL you have an opportunity to serve your Association as a Director, or a member of the Nominating Committee. The Directors and Officers of the Association play an important part in the Association's activities and represent the membership-at-large in formulating future plans. The hard-working efforts of each individual board member result in a strong and prosperous Alumni Association, which can better serve our Alma Mater.

The Nominating Committee prepares a slate of nominees and the Alumni Association positions are filled and take effect at the Annual Meeting. You are urged to consider serving in one of the above mentioned positions. This is a great way to meet new people and to continue to support the high quality education that we all received.

The committee welcomes the chance to consider candidates for election. There are about six to eight regular meetings a year. Four Directors, and two members of the Nominating Committee are to be elected annually. We hope to maintain a board membership that reflects a cross-section of the membership - recent graduates as well as graduates from all the former institutions that are now part of The INDEPENDENT UNIVERSITY ALUMNI ASSOCIATION at LOWELL.

To be eligible to become a board member, dues of $35 must be paid to the Alumni Association between July and March. The primary requirements for serving are the willingness to participate and to attend board meetings.

INDEPENDENT UNIVERSITY ALUMNI ASSOCIATION at LOWELL is an independent non-profit organization working to advance the interest and prestige of the students, faculty, administration, trusties, and alumni of the University.

The IUAAL is governed by a Board of Directors which includes four officers, the past president and 12 directors elected by members.

For more information, call the office at 999.999.9999.

Any graduate who makes an annual contribution of $35 or more becomes a member. This entitles members to full privileges of membership, including the right to vote and hold office.
