Meet Your Alumni Team
Located in the Gregory P. Klich Alumni House, the Office of Alumni Relations is here to champion you — your story, your success, and your lifelong connection to Christopher Newport.
Our work centers on Captains, Commitment, and Careers, ensuring you have countless ways to stay involved: reconnecting with campus resources, building professional networks, joining regional or affinity chapters, engaging in service, giving back, and celebrating what it means to be a Captain for Life.
Through the Christopher Newport Alumni Society and a full calendar of events and programs, we’re dedicated to keeping you connected, wherever you are and wherever your journey leads.
Your home at CNU isn’t just a place; it’s a team committed to you.
