Young Alumni Council (YAC)
There are more than 10,000 young alumni of the College, graduates from the Class of 1998 to the Class of 2008. As we are all at a similar stage of life, we have many common interests. We also have many opportunities to help each other, both professionally and personally, and to offer guidance to today's undergraduates.
The YAC was formed in 2004 to cultivate alumni connectivity during the first 10 years after graduation, a critical period for establishing a strong College-alumni relationship.
At the heart of the YAC are its 33 young alumni members, with representatives from each of the ten most recently graduated classes. These volunteers develop initiatives and activities that the Office of Alumni Relations staff works to implement.
This council aims to encourage participation among the College’s newest alumni. We would like to increase young alumni attendance at regional events, improve class reunion turnout, create a young alumni travel program, and increase young alumni annual giving. The Council has already sponsored successful young alumni regional events in Boston, New York City, and Rochester. We intend to hold more events in the future to increase the number of social and professional networking opportunities available to us.
Every year the YAC accepts nominations for membership from graduating students and eligible alumni. If you are interested in participating or know someone who would be an asset to the YAC, please contact Sydney Horne '07, '07E from the Office of Alumni Relations.
Best regards and Meliora!
