2020 Student Alumni Board Representatives
We are pleased to announce that
Mike DeAscentis, Jay Gokhale, Whitney Hannallah, Sarah Netler
and
Nikki Turley have been selected to represent the senior class as Student Alumni Board Representatives.
The Student Alumni Board Representatives serve as liaisons between the Alumni Board, Alumni Office and the student body. They foster relationships between alumni and students and help develop and manage events that bring alumni together. During their senior year, the student reps attend all Alumni Board meetings and serve on committees as needed.
The student reps support Columbus Academy financially through participation in the Annual Fund and, following graduation, act as class agents until their five-year reunion. As class agents, they work with the Alumni Office to collect class notes, help with class fundraising solicitations, and assist in organizing reunions.
