Alumnae
Give Support
Being an alumna of Cottey is a special distinction that brings a lifetime connection to Cottey sisters across geography and generations. These connections are enhanced by the generosity of people giving to the college and furthering the mission of Cottey. Your support is vital to the success of our students and college.
Get Involved
Giving back to Cottey doesn’t always mean a financial gift. Many alumnae will refer students, tell their network about Cottey, join a local Cottey club, or come back to campus for Founders Day. However you feel like getting involved, we hope you’ll find your way to experience the incredible things happening at your college.
Stay Connected
Your time as a student at Cottey lasted a few years, but your time as an alumna lasts a lifetime. The friendships and connections made during the college years can continue past the graduation stage. We have many ways for you to stay up to date with what is happening at Cottey and encourage you to reach out with any exciting updates in your life.
