The Board of Directors of the Alumni Association meets approximately 5 times a year. Subcommittees are established to assist with scholarship review, social/network planning, event planning, nominating, etc. We are eager to involve our out-of-state alumni. Alumni may serve as ambassadors to the College in their work/social communities or attend corporate and college fairs, in communities close to their home. We also have sponsored receptions for prospective students/alumni in different geographic areas.

We try to keep our alumni up to date on what's happening around the College. For this reason, it really is important for us to have your updated email address.
