The Alumni Association is governed by a volunteer Board of Directors, whose mission is to support, perpetuate, and enhance Lawrence by providing opportunities for alumni to maintain connections and serve as stewards of the university.

The vision of the LUAA Board of Directors is a Lawrence community with a lifetime commitment to the university, the liberal arts, and service to others.

 

Lawrence University Alumni Association

The LUAA Board of Directors is a group of alumni elected to serve one four-year term as a result of their high-level of volunteer leadership on Lawrence’s behalf. The board meets twice a year on campus to plan and review programs that involve alumni in support of the university.

Board members are the leadership body of the Lawrence University Alumni Association—they represent the alumni constituency and work with the Lawrence faculty and administration to advance the mission and purposes of the university.
