Alumni Board Application

Thank you for your interest in serving on the Board! We are a fun group of people who take pride in helping the college work toward its goals.

The Alumni Board is an important link between alumni, faculty, staff and students and has several functions during the course of a year, including assisting with Homecoming activities, helping with student recruitment and career functions, and promoting overall college goals. This group also works closely with the student group SPARK, Students Promoting Alumni Relations and Konnections, to help students see the impact of alumni connections and thus stay involved after they graduate. By submitting this application, you are acknowledging that, if selected, you will help further these responsibilities of the Board.

We seek membership of diverse interests, backgrounds and locations to help keep a representative group with the broadest reach and skill base. The Board meets three times a year on campus, and members are expected to attend at least six of the nine meetings during their three-year term. Members are also expected to give to the Alma Fund (at any level) each year they are on the Board.

Alumni Board applicants are voted upon at the September meeting. All applicants will be notified shortly after that meeting of the results of the vote.

Please note: All items are required EXCEPT the starred (*) item.






 

Frank Knox’s accomplishments are extraordinary: From fighting alongside Teddy Roosevelt and the Rough Riders and publishing the Chicago Daily News vice presidential candidate in 1936 to Secretary of the Navy under Franklin D. Roosevelt. Through it all, the 1912 graduate stayed true to his Alma College roots. His portrait adorns the conference room in the Reid-Knox Administration Building.
