ALC Expectations

 The Alumni Leadership Council is a group of dedicated alumni who help shape the alumni experience, advocate for the alumni association, and serve as key leaders for Aquinas College.
 

Members carry out this mission in 3 core areas:

Collaborate with the Admissions Champions program to engage alumni networks, inspire prospective students with success stories, share industry insights to shape recruitment, and mentor Aquinas College students.

Council members help plan and execute alumni events, promote service opportunities, advance Diversity and Inclusion initiatives, and build networking platforms that connect alumni across generations and industries. Members also mentor current students as they navigate life as a Saint. This group plays an active role in making sure the Aquinas community feels connected, from current students to alumni decades out.

As a private liberal arts institution, Aquinas depends on the generosity of its community to thrive. Council members are asked to engage community leaders, identify and cultivate potential donors, recruit new council members, and lead by example through personal giving.

Council Expectations

  • Attend all AALC meetings. The AALC meets quarterly at Aquinas College with the option to attend via Zoom.
  • Serve as an ambassador for the college, and help raise the visibility of the alumni association and its programs and services by being present, whenever possible, at College and association activities.
  • Support the College financially to the best of your ability, making Aquinas College a personal philanthropic priority.

Time Commitment

  • Members are expected to attend quarterly meetings on campus or via Zoom. Full sessions are typically two hours.
  • Much of the work of the council will be done in between meetings. Depending on the projects and goals, expect to spend a minimum 2-4 hours per month on council business.
