Six new members will be elected to the board in April and take office July 1.
Board members serve three-year terms.
The board, which meets on the Athens campus twice a year, evaluates alumni programming, communication and services, and also advises the Office of Alumni Relations staff on programs and projects for the university s more than 148,500 living alumni. Serving on the National Alumni Board has renewed fond memories of the past and given me a deeper sense of appreciation for the role this university has played in my life, said current board member John Baughman, BSED 67. I have learned that alumni are valued by the leadership of this university and that we in return can be a valuable resource to the university. Up to six Medal of Merit Awards and as many as three Honorary Alumni Awards also are presented. Non-alumni who have contributed valuable service to the university or the Alumni Association are elected as honorary alumni.
