Attn Writers: Alumnus/Alumni Question

Ok...writing a letter from a man to a women who both graduated from the same university. I have a sentance that says, "As a fellow alumnus of UT, it would be...." He is an alumnus, she is an alumna. Is it correct to say "As a fellow alumnus" or should it be "As a fellow alumni".

Normally I am good on this--this time, not so much.
