Alumni Board

What is the Austin College Alumni Board (AC AB)?

The Alumni Board is a collection of volunteers that serves as the governing body of the Austin College Alumni Association.

Letters of Support
Who is on it? Expand

The voting members of the Alumni Board are comprised of approximately 40 at-large members from various class years, geographic locations, and backgrounds as well as representatives from the Austin College Special Associations, the President of the Greek Alumni Council, and a representative of the student body. Non-voting members include representatives from the Austin College Alumni Engagement Office and honorary members elected by the Alumni Board.

What does it do? Expand

The Alumni Board seeks to promote the interests of the alumni, the College, and the current students in several ways, such as the following:

  • Helping plan and advertise college-related events for alumni;
  • Expressing the ideas, opinions, and concerns of Austin College alumni;
  • Raising awareness of the mission and programs of the College, including programs in which alumni can participate; and
  • Honoring faculty, staff, and alumni who have distinguished themselves in their field of endeavor.
When does the board meet? Expand

The Alumni Board meets three times per year. Its committees meet between full board meetings to work on various projects.

What are the benefits of membership? Expand

Serving on the Alumni Board is a wonderful way to engage, or perhaps re-engage, with Austin College. Membership also provides an opportunity to reconnect with old friends and Austin College alumni from other eras.

How can I participate? Expand

If you are interested in serving on the Alumni Board, there are typically a few openings each year. You may nominate yourself or another alum via nomination forms provided at the top of this page.

For more information, please write to alumniboard@austincollege.edu.
