Mission
The Casper College Alumni Association is a growing network of former Casper College students sharing the desire to promote Casper College as the pre-eminent community college in the country by promoting awareness and appreciation for Casper College, increasing the ability to provide financial resources to Casper College and its greater community, improving connectivity with alumni and other stake holders, and improving the Casper College campus environment.

Stay connected. All current students, past students, and friends are encouraged to notify the Casper College Alumni Association of their current address. We add new names and update addresses in order to get Casper College information to you. E-mail or call the Alumni Office and include your name, address, any information about yourself you would share, plus your years of attendance or graduation date.

The Casper College Alumni Association is a growing and vital part of the campus community. In 1989, the association was officially chartered and a constitution and bylaws was adopted. Currently, more than 20,000 names are on the college’s former student contact list. Twice each year, alumni receive an edition of Footprints, the alumni news magazine. The magazine is also available electronically via this website. Alumni have worked to establish an endowment fund for future projects and scholarships, and oversee several scholarships. Each year the annual Alumni and Friends banquet honors distinguished alumni and commitment to excellence recipients. In addition, the alumni board hosts an annual chili feed at Homecoming, hands out doughnuts on the first day of classes, sponsors a holiday reception for students and staff, and presents each graduate with a gift at commencement rehearsal. The Krampert Theatre Lobby was named the Alumni Lobby in recognition of a $100,000 gift from alumni and a plaque has been erected listing all donor names. Also, the alumni association played a significant role in the college’s 50th anniversary celebration spearheading the “Spirit of the Thunderbird” project, which resulted in the 15-foot tall Chris Navarro bronze on the front campus, which has become a symbol for the college.

The Casper College Alumni Association is working on a new alumni directory which will include comprehensive biographical listings with contact info., career overviews, and family highlights of our alums. Plus, a special section about the school will help you reminisce as you read about our past and learn what's in store for the future.

To make sure our directory is as up-to-date as possible, Harris Connect will begin contacting alumni in June to verify that the information we will print is accurate and complete. Help us help you to stay connected.
