Who We Are
The Cedar Crest College Alumnae Association is a nonprofit independent corporation formed in 1872, and is comprised of alumnae/i of the College. Anyone who has spent at least two semesters as an undergraduate or as a graduate student, in addition to those receiving degrees or certificates is considered an alumna. Once you become a Cedar Crest College alumna, you are always a Cedar Crest College alumna.

Each graduating class is an entity of itself, but also a part of the larger Alumnae Association. Classes have officer positions that are elected on a five-year basis. All alumnae/i are invited to return to Cedar Crest on a yearly basis to reconnect with the College and with classmates during Alumnae/i Reunion Weekend; however, classes celebrating five year anniversaries will hold elections and are invited to plan special events for their classes.
What We Do
The purpose of the Alumnae Association is to advocate alumnae/i engagement with the College; support Cedar Crest College in realizing its mission, programs, and student affairs; promote financial support for the College; assist the Alumnae/i Office in effectively serving alumnae/i; and encourage alumnae/i spirit of service.
The Alumnae Association works closely with the Alumnae/i Affairs Office to provide opportunities that will promote lifelong learning, along with ways to enrich the personal, professional and cultural lives of our alumnae/i. Through program development, communications, financial support and a variety of networks, the Association works to build connections among alumnae to each other and the College. The Alumnae/i Affairs Office is located in room 215 of Blaney Hall.
The Ginkgo – Our Alumnae Association Logo
The Alumnae Association has adopted a circle of 3 ginkgo leaves as its logo.
Ginkgo trees are a living link to the prehistoric past… having originated over two hundred million years ago. It’s believed that ginkgo trees can live up to 3,000 years or more and are considered living fossils!
The Ginkgo tree has clusters of fan shaped leaves with vein patterns unique to the Ginkgo tree. These leaves are green in the spring and turn to gold in the fall. Ginkgo trees are revered as symbols of changelessness, unity, love, and hope. Cedar Crest embodies the strength and stamina of the ginkgo tree, and our students and alumnae/i represent the unity, love and hope for the future.
