Forging neW ConneCTions “I think nearly every person I’ve ever met has had a positive experience at Geneseo and as for me, I had a great time. I think that anything that I can do will help make a difference. at’s what it’s all about and that’s why I volunteered.” - Chris Mattoni ’96, chair, Class Leadership Committee, Geneseo Alumni Council
Our alumni have an impressive range of expertise and extraordinary depth of life experiences. e newly-formed Class Leadership Committee of the Alumni Council is comprised of Geneseo alumni who have chosen to share their talents and acquired knowledge—along with their time—to help strengthen the Geneseo alumni network. Its purpose is to connect alumni with one another, with the College and with current students. “It’s about maturing into a real organization and recognizing that you’re a part of something special,” says Chris Mattoni ’96. “e alumni experience is being harnessed by the alumni themselves. at’s really what the Class Leadership Committee is about—reconnecting with your classmates and with Geneseo.” e core mission of the Class Leadership Committee is to increase alumni engagement. Among its goals: improve class giving participation rates, increase the number of Class Notes submitted by alumni and expand alumni attendance at regional events, on-campus events and Reunion.
