Alumni Board
The Alumni Board is the governing body of the Alumni Association, which was founded in 1912 by Rachel Coolidge Price, Class of 1911 as a means for the University and its Alumni to communicate and serve one another. The Alumni Board represents and serves as the voice of the University of Redlands alumni community. As a result, a primary function of the board is to provide strategic guidance and input to the Office of Alumni Relations team on the best practices for promoting alumni engagement and enhancing the alumni experience. The Alumni Board of Directors meets three times a year and is inclusive of all alumni including graduate alumni.
What does the alumni board do?
This board is comprised of dedicated Alumni who volunteer their time in both individual and combined efforts to further the vision of our Association’s founder and to constantly explore both new and traditional ways of getting and keeping our Alumni engaged with this University.
The Board’s work serves all Alumni groups associated with the University including alumni from University of Redlands, Johnston Center, San Francisco Theological Seminar, Presidio programs and University of Woodbury.
