In coordination with the Department of Advancement, the Alumni Association Leadership Council (AALC) assists with a number of alumni and student programs and services, such as events, alumni awards, student and alumni mentoring programs, enrollment activities and more. 

The AALC is a 28-member council with five officers on the executive committee and 23 members. Each member serves on a working committee. 

2020-2021 Board Committees

The board has six standing committees. 

  • Executive Committee

The committees are subject to change based on the interests of its members and needs of the College.
