History

The Alumni Council, originally the Board of Governors, was founded on August 14, 1917, by the first president, Betty Revell Wathen, Class of 1885 and a group of her fellow alumnae.  In 1981, the Association updated its constitution and changed the name to the Alumni Council.

General Duties

Elected members serve one-year terms, renewable for six consecutive terms, and meet four times a year.  During these meetings, members are called upon to make recommendations concerning a variety of matters that might impact the Alumni Association and the College including publications, fundraising, and special events.
