2007-08 National Alumni Board
Quincy University’s National Alumni Board is comprised of twenty-four members, twenty-one of whom are alumni representing different geographical regions of the nation and three others serving in positions specified in the constitution. Assisted by the director of alumni relations, the Alumni Board helps plan Homecoming, facilitates the selection of the annual distinguished alumni award winners, reviews and approves the Hall of Fame inductions, assists in developing relationships between alumni and students through the Electronic Alumni Mentor Program for Students (EAMPS), and promotes giving to the University through the Brick-by-Brick program.
The board meets three times a year. The fall and winter meetings are held on campus while the spring meeting is held in St. Louis in conjunction with the Franciscan Connection’s alumni service day.
