Alumni Boards

Alumni/ae Society Board of Governors

Taubman College Alumni/ae Society Board of Governors convenes in Ann Arbor twice each year. They come from across the country at their own expense, dedicating several days to learn about current issues at the school and provide real world perspective. They involve themselves in program activities and interact with our students, helping them to prepare for jobs in the professions. In addition, three scholarships are offered each year through the generosity of this board.

Campaign Advisory Committee

The Campaign Advisory Committee is composed of individuals of varied backgrounds and experience who all share one thing in common-dedication and commitment to the College in providing excellence in public education. The group has demonstrated a willingness to provide not only financial support, but to give their time and expertise to help the College reach its goals. These volunteers helped shape The Michigan Difference campaign case statement and established these goals.
