Alumni Council

The Council ensures that there is clear communication between alumni and the College, and encourages participation in all aspects of the college community.

In recent years, the Council has focused a great deal of energy on the expansion of the Alumni Council Scholarship Fund, mainly through the development of a successful annual auction. Additionally, members have worked to examine and expand the relationship that exists between the alumni body and various departments on campus.

The work of the Council is extremely important to further both the reputation and the success of Stonehill College. While Council members are appointed, membership on most Council committees is open to all alumni.

Alumni Council Committees

There are five committees of the Alumni Council. Most committees have open membership – any alum can join. The committees work with the College on a variety of issues, plan an array of alumni events and programs, and help connect alumni with each other and with Stonehill. Committees generally meet virtually once a month. 

Please contact the Alumni Office by phone at 508-565-1343 or by email at alumni@stonehill.edu if you would like to get involved with any of the below committees. Membership is open to all alumni.
