Council members will also serve in an executive position on one of the six committees. The committees will be led by two Council members and staffed by two to three Advisory Board members.

What kind of a voice does an Alumni Council member really have?

Recently, the Alumni Association revised its bylaws to give much more power to members of the Alumni Council.

The Alumni Advisory Board is made up of representatives from different departments of the College. In effect, the Council will be the visionary body and the Board will advise the Council of the feasibility of its ideas and carry them out to the best of its abilities.

What is the length of service for an Alumni Council member?

An Alumni Council member is asked to serve for individual terms of two years. At the end of the two-year term, the member can be nominated to retain his or her seat.
