History<\/h2>\n

In October of 2017, a group of alumni leaders formed the University of Rochester Alumni Board with the purpose of engaging all alumni and students in a lifelong connection with one another and with the University. This group, comprised of individuals from a variety of schools, class years, and backgrounds, serves as a voice for the more than 128,000 graduates that make up our global network.<\/p>\n

In practice, the Board advises and partners with the University to shape and implement its alumni and constituent engagement strategy. Our work complements that of other volunteer organizations, such as the Diversity Advisory Council, school alumni councils, class programs, and regional network leadership cabinets. Together, our efforts continually strengthen and expand our vibrant alumni community, and ensure an ever better future for our alma mater.<\/p>\n
