Alumni Association

The West Liberty University Alumni Association was founded in June 1877 with 103 members. From its beginning, the growth and development of the Alumni Association has been dedicated to promoting the interests of WLU and strengthening the loyalty of and fostering support among its graduates, former students, and friends. The association serves as the liaison between the alumni of WLU and its administration, staff, faculty, students, and friends.

Today, the Alumni Association represents over 25,000 alumni and continues to foster a spirit of unity and fellowship through communications, development, publicity, special events, recruiting, and career exploration to meet the diverse interests of its constituents. More information about the Alumni Association is available online at westliberty.edu/alumni.

The West Liberty University Alumni Association Board of Directors instituted a project in 1990 to demonstrate to current students, visitors, and friends that the university has some very successful graduates. This project, known as the “Alumni Wall of Honor,” is a dramatic way to honor some of the university’s most distinguished alumni and display pride in the accomplishments of its graduates.

The concept was suggested by then Associate Professor of Physics Robert W. Schramm, a 1958 graduate of the university and a 2002 Alumni Wall of Honor inductee. Schramm passed away in 2014.

The Alumni Wall of Honor is the highest honor bestowed upon a WLU graduate. For a complete listing of honorees, including photographs and biographies, please go online at westliberty.edu/alumni/wall-of-honor.
