Affinity partner FAQs
VIU Alumni offers a variety of events, programs and services to our alumni (e.g. Alumni Weekend, professional development funding, scholarships). The revenue generated through affinity partnerships allows us to fund these events, programs and services.
Our affinity partners offer direct value to our alumni. You have access to preferred rates on services or exclusive offers that allow you to save money. Additionally, these partnerships help provide funds so that we can offer free or low cost events, programs and services to our alumni.
The agreement with each affinity partner varies. Generally, we receive a small percentage of premiums the affinity partner collects for their services. It is through the vast numbers of alumni who use these services that these monies add up.
The Office of Alumni Relations respects your privacy. We oversee the distribution of all affinity program materials or work with a third-party email distributor that has entered into a confidentiality agreement with us. Your personal information remains confidential and is never released directly to any of our affinity partners.
If you prefer not to receive information regarding affinity programs, please email alumni@viu.ca .
