Your connection to Wartburg doesn’t end at Commencement — that’s only the beginning! As a parent or graduate, you’re part of a global network of Knights for life.
There are so many ways to stay involved with the Wartburg community:
- Share your major life updates (job and family changes).
- Attend events like Homecoming & Family Weekend.
- Join Knight Nation and become a mentor or host a job shadow.
- Refer a high school student to Wartburg.
- Nominate peers for Young Alumni or Alumni Citation awards.
- Follow us on social media.

ALUMNI AROUND THE WORLD
The Wartburg network is incredibly strong — and that’s before you add parents and friends.
Events & Programs

Know future Knights? Refer them!
Our alumni are our best ambassadors. Talk to college-bound students in your life about Wartburg — and unlock financial aid for them through our Alumni Referral Award program:
- Fill out the referral form.
- The student successfully applies to Wartburg.
- The student receives $500 annually when they enroll!
There’s no limit to the number of students you can qualify. You don’t have to wait until they’re seniors, either — refer a freshman, sophomore, or junior to give them lots of time to think about becoming a Knight.
Seniors must be referred by Dec. 1 to qualify!
Once a Knight, always a Knight!
It’s easy to give back to Wartburg. Just remember the three P’s: Participate, Provide, and Promote.
