International Alumni FAQ

What is an international alumni chapter?

An international alumni chapter is a group of 4 to 400 alumni and friends of BYU with a common interest in bringing the blessings of BYU to their community.

What do international chapters do?

International chapters promote the alumni association’s mission statement – ". . . to build uncommon loyalty, support, and service among alumni and friends of Brigham Young University."  Ranging from holding simple potluck dinners to promoting BYU performing arts tour groups, each chapter adapts its approach to achieving the mission statement according to its size and capability.
