Alumni Advisory Board
Alumni Advisory Board
The College Scholars Program Alumni Advisory Board was formed in 2014. It has now met twice, in early December 2014 and 2015. The current members of the Board are:
David Wilks Corban (’76) Houston Texas
Clinton Elmore (’14) Knoxville Tennessee
Paul Harrill (’94) Knoxville, Tennessee
Kevin Jones (’95) Richmond, Virginia
Suresh Karne (’88) Huntsville, Alabama
Angela C. Kennedy (’85) Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania (Board Chair)
Erin Schwie Langston (’00) Chapel Hill, North Carolina
The board was formed to provide guidance to the director on ways to strengthen the College Scholars Program and to assist in development efforts. The first two meetings have been productive. Initiatives that have arisen from board discussions include: (1) development of the on-line alumni directory, (2) increased efforts to raise the profile of the College Scholars Program both on and off campus, (3) strengthened annual giving efforts, (4) increased use of social media (Facebook and LinkedIn), and (5) increased recognition of the efforts of faculty mentors. The next meeting of the Board will be in the fall of 2016.
