With another successful ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ Day in the books, the ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ Alumni Board will soon join the Office of University Advancement and the Alumni Engagement team on campus for the board’s spring meeting and ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ’s annual Alumni Awards Weekend, being held April 26-27.
The board, which is made up of around 20 alumni representing a range of class years and areas of the country, will convene in April to recognize the service of Allison Breeding ’99, who has successfully led the ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ Alumni Board as president over the past year and has been an active member for the past 4 years. During her time with the board, Breeding spearheaded an initiative to endow a $50,000 scholarship in support of student internships, which are a critical indicator of professional success after ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ. Breeding also led many engagement programs over her time on the board.
Breeding now transitions to past president, while Dave Dziok ‘05 begins his term as ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ Alumni Board president. Dziok has been active on the board since 2020 and has been instrumental in aligning the board’s priorities with the university’s alumni strategic plan. Before taking on this new role, Dziok led the ºÚÁϲ»´òìÈ Alumni Board’s engagement committee.
Dana Neves ’95 will continue leading the advancement committee, Zaire Lionel ’02 will continue to chair the board development committee, and Tanya Brown ’98 and Chris Morse ’05 will again co-chair the engagement committee.
