Alumni Council

The Admission Committee oversees the creation of opportunities for alumni to assist the Office of Admission in recruiting talented students to the university. Alumni volunteers will work with the admission staff during both the fall and the spring by helping staff college fairs, and by attending admission programs. The Committee also leads the Postcards to Admits project. 

The Affinities Committee provides volunteer leadership for the university’s efforts to engage alumni and students along lines of affinity (identity-based affinities and shared-interest affinities). The committee facilitates the connection of alumni with each other based on their shared experiences while at Puget Sound, and leads initiatives aimed to connect current students with their alumni counterparts for mentorship, support, and engagement.

The Athletics Committee leads efforts to broadly engage Logger athletes across generations. Alumni are involved in programming that directly supports current student-athletes. This committee works with the athletics department, current coaches, and the office of alumni and parent relations to pursue optimal ways to support current student-athletes and to celebrate the accomplishments of alumni athletes.

The Career Development & Mentorship Committee is a group of Puget Sound alumni who, through development of programs and personal involvement, foster a culture in which alumni are readily available to support students’ exploration and pursuit of careers. This group operates as an alumni advisory body for mentorship programs and opportunities at Puget Sound, to provide the alumni perspective in alumni-student mentorship strategies, and the shape alumni-to-alumni mentorship. 

This committee fosters and strengthens connections between the University of Puget Sound and its alumni. Each regional club aims to increase alumni participation with local Puget Sound alumni and the larger university community through an online presence, activities and events, and general engagement with the university.

The Digital Engagement & Communications Committee leads the execution of the Alumni Council’s communications strategies and its core philosophies. The committee works to raise awareness of and promote the importance of the ACEC and the Alumni Council among the Logger alumni and university community. Additionally, the group proves leadership and advice on the digital alumni experience, examining the role of traditional engagement and digital engagement within broader alumni relations programming.
