Meet the four new Alumni Board members
The Alumni Board, the governing body of the college’s Alumni Association, has recently welcomed four new representatives. All Lees-McRae alumni automatically become part of the college’s Alumni Association upon graduation, and members of the Alumni Board serve as representatives for the college’s entire alumni community by facilitating college engagement opportunities and maintaining clear communication between alumni and college administrators.
Meet this new cohort of alumni representatives as they begin their tenure on the Lees-McRae Alumni Board.
