Our mission is to serve alumni by connecting them with the University, current students and their fellow classmates. If you are interested in participating in an event, mentoring a student or if you are coming to town and would like a tour of our beautiful campus, please call the Alumni Office at (570) 484-2586.

We realize that it may be difficult to get back to campus, so that is why we are bringing The Haven to you! Visit our events page to see where we are going next. We have hosted events in Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, Harrisburg, State College and Williamsport, just to name a few.

We can't wait to see you back at The Haven!

Board of Directors

The Lock Haven Alumni Association's Board of Directors consists of 20 alumni from the 1970s to the 2020s and every decade in between. Presided by John Newcomer ’84 and vice president George Way '78, the Board is divided into three committees: Legacy, Engagement, Relationship/Campus. Each committee has a chair representative that works closely with Alumni Office staff to assist in fundraising, marketing, relationship-building and event planning initiatives that support the Lock Haven Alumni Office's mission. All board members are volunteers who have been elected into their roles in large part for their unwavering loyalty and commitment to preserving the past while ensuring the future of Commonwealth University - Lock Haven.
