Lake County Alumni Chapter
The Lake County Alumni Chapter serves more than 5,000 alumni living in Lake County. As the first and oldest chapter, chartered in 1965, the Lake County Alumni Chapter has hosted six of the University's current and past presidents as the keynote speaker at the annual Blue and Gold Dinner held in the spring.
The dinner is hosted to award the Lake County Alumni Chapter Scholarship. In addition to the dinner, the chapter regularly hosts a networking and wine tasting event in the fall, a Lake County Captions pregame social, a Porthouse Theatre performance and post-production party with the Cleveland Alumni Chapter and many other exciting events.
