Alumni Association

History of the Alumni Association and the Anchor Club

Around 1967, the first group of four-year degree graduates of Lake Superior State College formed an alumni association and introduced the Anchor Men. Each alum who submitted $10 received an LSSC Anchor Man lapel pin and the funds were used for alumni programs. At that time, there were a few hundred former students who could claim to be LSSC alumni. The Alumni Anchor Men faded away. In 1994, your Alumni Assocation returned to the Anchor Man in a slightly different manner, but still honoring the Lake State tradition with the Anchor Club. In 2009 the Anchor Club was phased out and replaced with an expanded Alumni Assocation Membership Program.
