our alma mater with our time and treasures. Hampton and the students need our financial support. We
need to show our pride by giving back each and every year, not only during reunion year, but every year.

Rev. Richard C. Keller, Jr., ‘74
Please don’t dwell on the negative reasons you should not give back, but think about all the wonderful
memories you made here and all the future memories you will make each time you return back to our
beautiful campus during homecoming and reunion weekends.
If you have not had an opportunity to make a donation to Hampton, please consider making a
donation. It does not have to be a certain amount. Every amount is valuable and important. The decision
is yours and yours alone. Share the blessings that you have received and “let your life continue to do the

ALUMNI GIVING CORNER
ALUMNI GIVING CO-CHAIRS : Andre DeBose ([email protected]) and Michael Byrd ([email protected])
ALUMNI GIVING BACK TO OUR HOME BY THE SEA
A true indicator of the love for and loyalty to one’s alma mater is the extent to which one is
willing to support it financially. It also happens to be a reliable indicator of excellence. As
it turns out, graduate giving is a very good barometer of how alumni view their colleges.
As virtually every college struggles through challenging economic times, knowing what
can be done to increase the level of alumni giving is valuable learning. Despite difficult
economic times, there are schools that continue to distinguish themselves for having
graduates who demonstrate enduring alumni love and financial support. But what are the
driving factors that make these schools and the other leaders so successful at generating
alumni support for their school, while others watch as alumni deny their request for money? Your Alumni Giving CoChairs are carefully analyzing data from thousands of college graduates, and comparing it to the donation rates by
college to identify best practices and develop a few hypotheses as to the key factors that could be driving alumni
donations at our “Home by The Sea”. Stay tuned…
We will be also working closely with Class Leaders from the 0 and 5 graduating years to maximize their individual
class gifts during the Reunion Weekend. The giving goals per Class are:
2010 - $10,000; 2005 - $20,000; 2000 - $30,000; 1995 - $40,000; 1990 - $50,000; 1985 - $75,000; 1980 - $80,000;
1975 - $85,000;
1970 - $90,000; 1965 - $100,000; Emeritus Class - $250,000 (Annually)
UPDATE - With the help of the University, Office of Alumni Affairs (OAA) and AA Director Sharon (Gates)
Fitzgerald (‘05), the Alumni Giving Co-Chairs are excited to implement an initiative to facilitate increased Chapter
membership and Alumni Giving. For success, it is important to keep your contact information updated in the OAA. If

—2015 MEAC BASKETBALL CHAMPIONS
PIRATES UPEND DELAWARE STATE TO WIN MEAC TITLE
Norfolk, Virginia— (3.14.15) Twenty minutes into Saturday's MEAC Tournament final at Norfolk Scope Arena, the
Hampton University men's basketball team and Delaware State were deadlocked. But once the second half started, the
Pirates kicked into gear. That 20-minute drive to the finish netted Hampton an 82-61 win over the Hornets and the
2015 MEAC Tournament title – the Pirates' second such crown under head coach Edward Joyner Jr. and the first
since 2011. Hampton has won five MEAC Tournament titles.
PIRATES PUSH PAST MANHATTAN IN NCAA FIRST FOUR
DAYTON, Ohio – (3.17.15) The momentum from winning the MEAC Tournament – four games in six days –
carried over for the Hampton University men's basketball team on Tuesday night at UD Arena, as the Pirates
withstood a push from Manhattan to take a 74-64 win in the First Four. The Pirates (17-17), having picked up their
first NCAA Tournament win since 2001's historic upset of Iowa State, advance to the second round in the Midwest
Region – where overall No. 1 seed Kentucky awaits on Thursday in Louisville, Ky. at 9:40 p.m. EST.
PIRATES’ RUN ENDS AGAINST NO. 1 KENTUCKY
LOUISVILLE, Ky. – (3.20.15) Given the run the Hampton University
men's basketball team's been on over the past week and a half -- five
games over the course of eight days and all the notoriety that came with
it, one might wonder when the magic would run out. Enter No. 1 overall
seed Kentucky, which defeated the Pirates 79-56 Thursday night in the
second round of the NCAA Tournament.

The National Hampton Alumni
Association, Inc. seeks to be inclusive and
to include alumni, students, parents,
faculty, administration, staff, friends,
partners, significant others, and prealumni. Our mission is to raise funds for
the University, help with the recruitment
of students, develop alumni chapters, and
to enhance the Hampton Legacy.
“Together...We Make A Difference”
Proposed Changes to the Bylaws for the National Hampton Alumni Association, Inc.
A review of the Bylaws for the National Hampton Alumni Association, Incorporated was
performed. During the review, the a number of concerns were identified. The concerns and
proposed changes are included in the following report.
Article I - Authority
Section 1: Purpose: Current: (c) Propose and manage an Annual Program Budget
Proposed Change: (c) Propose and manage an Annual Program Budget
Basis for Change: This part of Section 1: Purpose, should be removed because it is not our
mission, it's something we do to operate efficiently. All effective organizations have a budget.
Section 3: Elections: Current: An election of the national officers President, First Vice
President, Vice President (Eastern Regions), Vice President (Western Regions), Recording
Secretary, Corresponding Secretary, and Treasurer shall be conducted among the regular voting
membership in even-numbered years.
Proposed change: An election of the national officers for the board positions of National
President, First Vice President, Vice President (Eastern Regions), Vice President (Western
Regions), Recording Secretary, Corresponding Secretary, and Treasurer shall be conducted
among the regular voting membership in even-numbered years.
Basis for change: To add clarity to the statement, and to accurately describe the position of
board president as "National" President.
Current: A ballot shall be prepared and distributed to each regular voting member by e-mail,
postal mail, and/or other electronic means by March 1st of the even-numbered years.
Proposed change: A ballot shall be prepared and distributed to each regular voting member by
e-mail, postal mail, and/or other electronic means by March 1st of the even-numbered years.
Basis for Change: the Bylaws won't have to be revised each time a new/different/more efficient
way of communicating with the membership is developed.
Article II - Membership
Current: There shall be three (3) classes of membership.
Section 1: Regular Voting Membership
All holders of degrees, diplomas, and certificates heretofore and hereinafter granted by Hampton
University and its predecessors, and all persons who attended Hampton University and its
1
predecessors for at least on semester (including a summer session) and left in good standing, are
afforded voting membership in the NHAA, Inc.
Proposed change: Current: There shall be three (3) four (4) classes of membership.
Section 1: Regular Voting Membership
All holders of degrees, diplomas, and certificates heretofore and hereinafter granted by Hampton
University and its predecessors, and all persons who attended Hampton University and its
predecessors for at least on semester (including a summer session) and left in good standing, are
afforded voting membership in the NHAA, Inc.
Section 5: Voting Membership
Any regular member, as defined in Section above, who has participated in alumni giving at least
once in the last five (5) years shall have voting rights in the NHAA, Inc.
Basis for Proposed Change:
First, according to our Bylaws, (Article 1 Section 1 Part a), one of the main purposes of NHAA
Inc. is to raise monies for Hampton University. Any person considered to be an active member
of an organization, with all membership privileges (including voting), should at least be a
supporter of the organization's mission or purpose. Second, this gives the regular member an
opportunity to show interest in HU and NHAA Inc. Even in US elections, ballots are not just
mailed out to any and every American citizen; a person has to show interest/initiative in voting they have to go to the polls or request an absentee ballot. Five (5) years will give each NHAA
Inc. regular member the opportunity to at least give during their reunion year if at no other time.
Since we don't have dues, this can be a means of distinguishing active vs. inactive membership.
third, since HU gives receipts for contributions, they would probably have updated contact
information for those persons. This will be helpful in making sure ballots reach every voting
member.
Article III - Board of Directors
Section 1: Current: The Board of Directors of the NHAA, Inc. shall consist of the following
persons:
a)
b)
c)
