Seeking Reunion Class Clerks to help plan milestone reunions!

Curious about your classmates? Want to help bring everyone together for a virtual happy hour or reunion? Be a Reunion Class Clerk! Working in tandem with the Alumni Office, the primary responsibilities are:

  • to connect and communicate with your classmates
  • to help build excitement and encourage attendance on Alumni Day
  • to encourage gifts of any size to the Fund for AFS in honor of your reunion

Communication efforts can be done over email/phone or through the AFS Alumni Facebook Group. There are no required meetings. The Alumni Office administratively supports the Reunion Class Clerks.
