You’re only a student for four years, but you’ll always be a Bear for Life.
Ursinus College Students Today Alumni Tomorrow (STAT) is a campus organization focused on exposing students to what it means to be proud Ursinus alumni and Bears for Life. It is composed of enthusiastic students dedicated to educating the campus community about philanthropy as it relates to the College, increasing student engagement and school spirit, and advocating on behalf of the Office of Advancement.
Applications will be collected every Fall.
Our Events
STAT hosts Spirit Week leading up to UC’s Homecoming & Family Weekend each year, hosting events and programs to get the Ursinus community excited and feeling full of school spirit!
An annual tradition at Ursinus College, #Giving2UCday is a day for alumni, faculty, staff, parents, students and friends to join together and combine their support to make a real difference in the lives of students today and in the future. STAT welcomes students to participate and for the chance to win fun swag and prizes all day!
STAT hosts Celebration of Lights with the goal to promote awareness, tolerance, acceptance, and hopefully some love across campus. Candle lighting follows a share of traditions, refreshments, and performances.
In 2019, STAT will help the Ursinus community celebrate the college’s 150th birthday! In past celebrations, students celebrated in Upper Wismer to “toast” the occasion (with sparkling cider) and a special dinner prepared by dining services!
An annual tradition at Ursinus College, Philanthropy Week is a spring event, where students, faculty and staff learn about how the College has been shaped by philanthropy.
Students make their own UC pennant, enjoy ice cream and learn about the philanthropists throughout UC history who have made a difference!
STAT students are invited to be matched with an Ursinus College Alumni Council volunteer who will mentor them throughout their UC experience
