The Alumni Annual Fund was created in 1988 by a group of alumni who believe that alumni should have an active role in the support of the College. The AAF is run by alumni volunteers, who serve in a number of capacities, and is supported by a paid staff. The Alumni Annual Fund has a governing Board made up of alumni. Board members oversee each decade and reunion giving programs. There is also a board member at large.
Board members work with staff and class agents to ensure that fundraising goals are met.
Each Class Agent coordinates the fundraising for his or her class. This includes organizing the assistant agents and making gift solicitation phone calls. Assistant Agents also solicit their classmates for gifts. Most calling is done in the fall and winter, with follow-up and pledge reminder calls made in the spring. Send an e-mail to Ann Etter to volunteer as a class agent or assistant agent.
