Affinity and Identity Groups

Wake Forest University Affinity Groups are communities of alumni, parents, students, and friends of Wake Forest connecting on the basis of shared interests or experiences. Affinity Groups are created by alumni around a profession, special interest, identity, or student group and provide alumni, parents, students, and friends with opportunities for networking, professional or personal development, lifelong learning, resource sharing, and an expanded sense of community. Similar to our regional alumni communities, Wake Forest Affinity Groups exist through the support of a volunteer leadership team that provides opportunities for virtual interactions and in-person events, on campus and out in our communities, that bring the Affinity Group members together in support of the group’s mission. For more information about all affinity and identity programs, to get involved with an existing affinity group, or to plan an affinity reunion, please contact Kelly McConnico (’00), Assistant Vice President for Alumni Engagement by emailing mcconnkm@wfu.edu.
