ALUMNI LEADERSHIP COUNCIL
KITAlumniLEADERSHIP COUNCIL
In the fall of 2017, a small group of Roeper staff and alumni came together to brainstorm ideas for launching an alumni council . This initial brainstorming meeting formed the foundation for what was to become the Roeper Alumni Leadership Council, an organization designed to cultivate and steward alumni engagement for The Roeper School .
Now in its third year, the mission of the Roeper Alumni Leadership Council is to develop, encourage, and grow alumni support for Roeper’s mission and to maintain and promote lasting and meaningful connections between the school and its alumni . Roeper alumni, individually and collectively, are critically important members of The Roeper School community . Beyond representing the outcomes of a Roeper education, our alumni are a continuously expanding source of wisdom, talent, and financial support for the school and its mission .
Over the last two years, the Alumni Council organized Roeper’s first virtual Alumni Spirit Week, coordinated alumni-hosted Mariann Hoag Scholarship Dinners in major cities across the country (unfortunately these were cancelled due to COVID-19), launched an online alumni directory and a secure photo-sharing site, and shared their expertise in a multitude of ways . Input from members of the Alumni Council has been invaluable for the Alumni Office and the School .
Each year, the Alumni Council strives to evolve and grow in ways that support a strong alumni base and strengthen the school, and this year is no exception . During a time when traveling and in-person gatherings are limited, the Council is eager to explore meaningful ways to expand our virtual connectivity . Since Roeper alumni are spread out all over the country, and the world, virtual events have the potential to be more inclusive than ever before . Exciting things are in the works for 2021!
