Alumni Association Board of Directors

The mission of the Alumni Association Board of Directors is to promote lifelong relationships among current and future alumni and lead the Alumni Association as it fosters an active, engaged and enduring community of Connecticut College graduates.

The Association’s Board of Directors guides the efforts of alumni volunteers nationally, working with all members of the College community to support and enhance activities for alumni on and off campus. The 33 member Board is composed of Alumni volunteers from around the country, representing classes from the 1950s to the 2020s, with Young Alumni Directors specifically representing the three most recent graduating classes. Directors are elected for a three-year (renewable) term and work both collectively, and in their local communities and networks, to promote the overarching mission, goals, activities, and governance of the Alumni Association.
