The Third Century Fund

The Third Century Fund allows Saint Louis University's Office of Alumni Engagement to continue the lifelong relationship between SLU and our more than 138,000 graduates.

When you support the Third Century Fund, you strengthen the connections between Saint Louis University’s students and future graduates with signature programs such as Homecoming and Family Weekend, reunions, club city events, service opportunities and alumni professional development programming. 

Contributing to the Third Century Fund helps Saint Louis University maintain lasting connections with its more than 138,000 alumni. This crucial fund supports the Office of Alumni Engagement in creating impactful programs, ensuring a thriving and interconnected SLU network for both current and future graduates.”

  • Homecoming and Family Weekend celebrates everything from SLU's Golden Billikens, who graduated 50 years ago or more, to first-year students and their parents at the Legacy Lunch. It also brings future Billikens to campus as they enjoy the family fun area during the pregame celebration.
  • SLU has alumni clubs in more than two dozen cities around the United States. Each club organizes events and programs in their respective cities — offering alumni an opportunity to connect with other alumni in their area.
  • SLU’s Black Alumni Association promotes the growth, progress and general welfare of Black alumni and minority students. It fosters closer relationships, connections and involvement among Black alumni, students, faculty and staff. 
  • SLU's Women's Council brings the University and the community closer by fostering and encouraging interest in educational and research activities.

A gift to the Third Century Fund is included in some of SLU's special event registrations or promotional item purchases, helping you support opportunities that foster a sense of belonging for SLU alumni and current students.
