Congratulations to our Journalism and Mass Communication
alumni chapter on winning the 2010 Centennial Challenge!
The JMC chapter came in 1st place -- with a total of 37 new memberships -- following the alumni association's first membership competition among our chapters across the country. This special centennial competition brought in nearly 100 new members for the alumni association as well as new faces and excitement to all our chapters.
Thank you to everyone who participated!
Hats off to our second place winners, the Central Ohio alumni chapter,
and the third place winners, the Honors College alumni chapter.
Watch for a special announcement in the July 1, 2010 issue of e-Flash, our members' newsletter. Until then, check out how each chapter finished by scrolling to the bottom of this page.
Even though our competition is over, please continue to spread the word about membership in the alumni association and share your special membership testimonial with friends, family and colleagues. The tools for promoting membership (see below) will remain on this page as a resource to our chapter members.

Background
This membership challenge was created as a call to action around which the Kent State University Alumni Association (KSUAA) and its valued chapters can acquire new members, retain those that are currently members and reinstate those that have lapsed. As the university celebrates its 100th year, we hope this competition will help raise awareness of the value of membership and the important role the KSUAA plays in engaging Kent State alumni throughout the world.
Goal
The immediate goal of the competition is to increase overall membership within the KSUAA by 100 members per chapter in approximately 100 days. The idea is to approach membership acquisition collaboratively from a grass roots level. The KSUAA will give each chapter the tools to recruit new members (and renew current members) and your chapter takes it from there.
