Alumni Board of Governors

The Alumni Board of Governors fosters ongoing relationships with William Jewell College and supports and celebrates alumni and student success.

This board represents the alumni of William Jewell College who have a deep and abiding interest in promoting the welfare of the College and keeping the alumni community connected. To ensure all alumni are fairly represented, including recent graduates, the board consists of 24 elected governors and three officers. Fifteen positions are distributed equally among the five most recent decades. Four board positions represent the decades prior to the five most recent decades, and five board positions are designated as at-large positions. Members serve three-year terms.

This active group of volunteers meets four to five times a year and works on committees between meetings. Their committees include special events; awards and nominations; development and benchmarking; service and mission, career mentoring and admission support. They also annually recognize distinguished alumni during Homecoming. For a listing of National Alumni Awards criteria and past honorees click here.
