Join the Alumni Board
Would you like to network
with other CUPPA alumni?
Help your fellow alumni and current students?
Gain professional skills?
Have an impact on future educational objectives of the college?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, please consider joining
the
CUPPA Alumni Association Board and/or one of its committees.
The goal of the CUPPA Alumni Association (CUPPA-AA) is to strengthen and
enhance the professional and academic experience for alumni, students and faculty.
The CUPPA Alumni Association offers educational and career development
to alumni, students and faculty; organizes events/activities
for the informal sharing/exchange of information and to encourage professional
relationships; and lends support and provides
input
to the development of the college's curriculum.
The term for CUPPA-AA board members begins in June and ends the following
June. Board members have the following responsibilities:
1) Attend each of the quarterly meetings,
2) Serve on a committee (Professional Development, Student and Alumni
Connections, Membership and Marketing, or Special Event Planning),
3) Attend at least two planned alumni events (speakers series, holiday
party, alumni appreciation award reception, social events)
The quarterly board meetings are typically held on a weeknight from
6-7:30pm in September, January, March and June. Most alumni events
are held in
the evening during the week, but a few are held on the weekends.
The board plans educational and/or social events, usually about
four per year. These events include the Life-long Learning Day,
the annual
Alumni
Holiday Party, the Spring Speakers Series and other event(s)
that change
each year depending on the interests of the board members.
The
board also assists in contacting alumni to speak to current students.
The annual elections for the board will be held on June 6, 2005
at 6pm at CUPPA Hall, room 110, 412 South Peoria Street, Chicago. If
you are interested in joining the board or would like more information
about
CUPPA-AA, please contact me. To have your name added to
the board member nomination slate, please contact me no later
than
May 24, 2006.
The slate
will be posted on our website and listserves and will
be voted
on by those present at the meeting on June 6.
