Alumni Association

The Alumni Association includes all graduates; any person who has been a full-time undergraduate for at least two years or has completed 60 units; any person who has received a teaching credential from the University; and any person who has completed one year as a graduate or undergraduate student and indicates a desire to be a member of the Association.

Alumni may purchase an Alumni Benefits Card which is good for one year and entitles the card holder to certain benefits such as:

• Participating in "Course Auditing Program" with consent of the instructor
• Discounted rates for use of the Conlan Recreation Center
• Free access to the Career and Internship Services

Alumni have several opportunities to remain involved with their alma mater. They may serve as class representatives, assist in the admissions efforts through our DARTS (Dominican Alumni Recruiting Tomorrow's Students) program, volunteer with Career Services to speak to current students in search of careers, host regional alumni gatherings, or become elected to the Alumni Association Board of Directors.

All alumni are invited to indicate their interest in any of the above activities by contacting the Office of Alumni Relations. The Office of Alumni Relations is located in Guzman Hall (Room 100). The telephone number is (415) 485-3242.

Alumni are encouraged to visit the interactive Alumni Online Community at http://alumni.dominican.edu for up to date information on events as well as staying in touch with each other.

The annual Alumni Reunion is held on the campus each spring. The Alumni Association Board of Directors meets four times per year.

Faculty Forum

The Faculty Forum provides a forum for debate on University issues relevant to the life and work of the University’s faculty, including providing an avenue for presenting the faculty’s considered decisions and recommendations to faculty representatives on University governance bodies; protecting and promoting academic freedom, recognizing and promoting the professional work and contributions the faculty can make in the development of the University as a community of students and scholars; protecting and promoting the role and responsibility of faculty in curriculum development by subjecting proposals for new curriculum to a vote of approval; protecting and promoting the role and responsibility of faculty in matters concerning faculty contracts, compensation, benefits, and workload by subjecting proposals respecting such matters to a vote of approval. The Faculty Forum membership consists of all full-time faculty and eligible part-time faculty; however, the Forum itself, through its bylaws (see the Faculty Handbook), makes the ultimate determination of the eligibility for membership.

Staff Assembly

The bylaws state that the purpose and objectives of the Staff Assembly are: to establish and promote staff representation, responsibility and visibility; to support continued development and empowerment of staff; to improve positive communication, responsibility and accountability; to support a concern for staff welfare within the University community and organizational structure. All regular staff of the University, both full-time and part-time, are members (except members of the Administration).
