Dear SAB Applicant,
Thank you for your interest in the Student Alumni Board! SAB is a group of dreamers, innovators, doers, and planners who connect Wheaton students with our alumni network in creative and meaningful ways. Some 2017-2018 event highlights have included:
- Shark Tank (entrepreneurship)
- Homecoming
- Dinner with 12 Wheaties (dinner with local alumni)
- Alumni for the Arts (art gallery and coffeehouse)
- Chicago Student Led Trips (career exploration at alumni workplaces)
- International Alumni Engagement
- Alumni-Student Mentoring Program
- Surprised by Life (alumni life stories)
The board is typically made up of 12 total members, including President and Vice President, selected from the previous year's board. We are looking for 10 board members:
BOARD MEMBERS
As a board member, you will be actively engaged in planning events, leading initiatives, connecting with alumni, building community with SAB, and serving the student body. We also seek at least one board member with graphic design experience.
Please review the following expectations before applying:
- You are committed to the mission of Student Alumni Board and your fellow board members.
- You are committed and dedicated to Student Alumni Board for the full academic year. This means that you are willing to forgo other commitments so that you may commit more fully to Student Alumni Board. You cannot simultaneously serve on Orientation Committee and the Student Alumni Board due to schedule conflicts.
- As a student leader, you currently must have and thus maintain a 2.3+ GPA.
- You are ready to be challenged and confronted as you grow personally and in community with your fellow board members.
- You will be able to return to campus in early August for the HoneyRock Student Development Week (August 13-18).
- You are required to attend all weekly meetings and all Student Alumni Board events.
All information received both in your application and references are confidential. Your application is due by midnight on Friday, March 23, and your references are due before your interview. The complete application includes:
- The application form
- One faculty/staff reference
- One peer reference
It is your responsibility to make sure your references submit their forms to Christy Vosburg in Alumni and Parent Engagement (via CPO or email at christy.vosburg@wheaton.edu).
We will invite some applicants to proceed to the interview round, which will begin on Tuesday, March 20, and will mail decisions via CPO by the end of March.
If you have any questions about SAB or the application process, feel free to ask.
