Affinity Groups

A.L.M.A. event gathering during True Blue Weekend 2022

Many alumni maintain strong ties to Franklin & Marshall through their Greek organizations, sports teams, student organizations or other shared interests. The Office of Alumni Engagement, in partnership with the Franklin & Marshall College Alumni Association Board, is eager to help alumni engage with fellow members of their F&M affinity groups by providing a system of recognition for new groups, assisting with on-campus and regional event planning, providing contact information for fellow group members, assisting with communication to fellow affinity members and offering opportunities to work with the board in alumni engagement. To learn more about affinity program guidelines, consult our Alumni Affinity Handbook.

To get involved or to inquire about starting a new affinity group, contact Amy Layman, associate vice president of external engagement, at amy.layman@fandm.edu.

Dollars for Dips: Student Philanthropy Committee

The Dollars for Dips Student Philanthropy Committee at Franklin and Marshall College aims to continue the tradition of paying it forward by educating and building a culture of philanthropy within the student body. By learning about giving back, students will see that every gift – no matter the size – creates a tangible impact and enhances the F&M experience for future Diplomats. 

The Committee leads the Senior Donor Campaign and Senior Giving Challenge and brings together a group of driven and enthusiastic students who are passionate about educating their peers on the importance of philanthropy. 

To learn more and get involved, contact Megan Finlan, assistant director of alumni & student engagement, at mfinlan@fandm.edu.
