​The Archer Fellow Alumni Association (AFAA) was founded in the spring of 2003 by alumni of the Archer Fellowship Program to provide a structure in which alumni can come together for social and networking opportunities and to support the Archer Center. Since its founding, the AFAA has been instrumental in the continued success and growth of the Archer Center's programs.

All former participants of the Archer Fellowship Program and Graduate Archer Fellowship Program are automatically deemed members of the AFAA. Alumni are encouraged to participate in social and networking events and to give back to the Archer Center. AFAA events occur in Washington, D.C., Texas, and other cities to foster continued friendship and professional development among alumni.

Alumni: Whether you land a new job, change addresses or get accepted to a graduate program, we want to know what is going on in your world! Join AFAA Connect to stay connected with other Archer Fellow alumni and stay up to date with Archer Center events and initiatives.
