MACOMB/MOLINE, IL - - The 91²Ö¿â Alumni Association is currently accepting applications for new members.

The 91²Ö¿âAlumni Council is composed of 24 dedicated 91²Ö¿âgraduates of all backgrounds, geographic locations and career fields. The Alumni Council strives to include a broad range of members which accurately reflect the student body and alumni community.

The 91²Ö¿âAlumni Council meets four times per year, usually on the Macomb campus, to receive updates and provide feedback to various members of the 91²Ö¿âcommunity. The members represent the interests of the 91²Ö¿âalumni base, assist in student recruitment efforts, participate in alumni events nationwide, vote on alumni awards, support 91²Ö¿âfinancially and advocate for the university. Members are appointed to three-year terms.

"Our ideal candidate is someone who has been actively involved with the university since graduation, has given back to 91²Ö¿âand is looking for new avenues to serve their alma mater," 91²Ö¿âAlumni Council Membership Committee Chair Emily Manley (‘17) said. "Now more than ever, it is important that we ensure alumni are connected to 91²Ö¿âand are actively participating in securing its future. We are looking for people who bleed purple and gold!"

The love and commitment of alumni are a powerful tool for higher-ed institutions. By joining the 91²Ö¿âAlumni Council, graduates will be able to develop connections, give back to their alma mater, stay informed, show school pride and help current students.
