Did the ULLAA ever grant graduates a free membership year upon graduation?
Did they continue the automobile license plate trim plate gifting to new graduates?
Thought that was a great move, can’t monetize that type of advertising.

Lots went to capital campaigns. Over many years.
Since 2017, there is no longer charge for anyone who graduated from the university to become an Alumni Association general member. As a graduate of UL (or SLI or USL), you are automatically a member of the Alumni Association and receive basic membership benefits. There is an event put on by the Alumni Association called Grad Expo where information about the association is handed out along with being able to order cap and gowns, pictures, rings etc. They are reminded to keep their contact information up to date in order to continue receiving information from the association. Some bling is handed out at that event but don't know if the automobile trim plate is. There is also a champagne (or non-alcoholic version if desired) toast for graduates at the Alumni Center where those who participate receive a branded champagne flute.
