Background Information

Canterbury Village University is a small liberal arts college in South West Ohio, accredited by the Mid-West Commission on Higher Education, and dedicated to the education of students to think and act critically, creatively, and ethically as professionals and scholars.

The Alumni Association furthers the principal objectives of the University by supporting the legacy of the founders and alumni, and fostering ongoing active relationships among graduates, current students, members of the faculty, and friends of the University.

The Alumni GOLD (Graduates Of the Last Decade) Leadership Congress is established to secure and increase the lifelong involvement of graduates of the past decade in the mission of the University through volunteer, philanthropic, social, and career networking activities.

As this group represents one-third of the alumni population, they are a unique and vital constituency of the University, and the Association.
