The Alumni Council comprises members who represent alumni boards, students, young alumni, a range of class years, geographic locations, and professional backgrounds. Members are nominated by alumni, staff, and faculty, and selected by the Council’s Outreach and Nominations Committee.

Each of the alumni stewardship efforts is represented by at least one member, with the balance being at least one at-large director for every two alumni stewardship efforts members.

There are at least three members who are students when appointed, and four alumni trustees. At-large members serve four-year terms, members representing alumni stewardship efforts serve two-year terms, and student members serve three-year terms.

The Council is led by the president. The president serves for two years and one year as president-elect. An executive committee comprised of alumni board representatives and committee chairs may also be appointed.
