The Gold Crew strives to create bonds between the University and its alumni. A big part of this comes from creating a bond and sense of stewardship between the young alumni and the BCU community. The Gold Crew is made up of three subcommittees, which all focus on creating opportunities for alumni to participate in community events while representing our Franciscan values.

• The Events Committee assists the Alumni Director with the planning and execution of various alumni engagement events such as Homecoming, Alumni Weekend, College World Series, and RAGBRAI.
• The Outreach Committee is focused on creating and distributing campus information to the alumni community. This committee also assists with identifying opportunities to highlight outstanding alumni, recruit volunteers, and engage alumni in social media.
• The Development Committee is devoted to establishing and maintaining connections with current students as they make the transition from student to alumni. They look to promote participation after graduation, as well as act as a connection between the Gold Crew and the Senior Legacy Committee, plus assist with the Toast to the Tassel event and various fundraising campaigns.

Let us know you are interested in and we will get you more information about how to participate.

Every year, Briar Cliff University makes two outstanding alumni awards. In addition to recognition within the Cliff community and local community, the award recipients will receive a plaque commemorating this significant accomplishment.

The Distinguished Alumni Award is selected based upon an individual who has graduated from the Cliff and has continued to incorporate the values and mission of the Cliff after graduation.

The Gold Alumni Award is selected based upon an individual who has graduated from the Cliff in the last decade and has continued to incorporate the values and mission of the Cliff after graduation. 

All nominations must be carefully considered. Winners are selected based on the following criteria that strongly align with our University's mission, values, and vision:

• Demonstrated a commitment to living the Franciscan ideals of service, caring, and openness to all
• Demonstrated exceptional accomplishment in academic or professional pursuits. 
• Demonstrated continued engagement and stewardship in the Briar Cliff community.

Contact our university relations team to nominate an individual. Be sure to include:

• who they are
• when they graduated
• what degree they received from Briar Cliff
• and a brief summary of why they deserve this recognition.
