2006 Senior Elections: An opportunity for graduates to join the Alumni Council

The senior class has the opportunity to elect four of their peers to serve in this volunteer capacity for a five year term. These valuable alumni-volunteer positions ensure a representative voice from the Class of 2006 within the Tufts Alumni Association.

During their tenure, transitional members are offered a committee assignment and participate at the semi-annual all-member council meetings held in the fall and spring. Transitional Members have historically made a great impact in defining programming that meets the needs of younger alumni and in promoting higher Tufts Alumni Association visibility to students and the campus community. Previously elected Transitional Members have also volunteered with the Tufts Alumni Admissions Program and become active with the Regional Alumni Chapter in the city where they live after graduation.

Students may self-nominate to run as a transitional alumni council member. Nominations will be accepted through Wednesday, March 21 and should be submitted by email to seniornomination@tufts.edu.

Following the submission, each nominee will be asked to provide a short biographical sketch which highlights their undergraduate achievements, and what they might like to be involved in accomplishing as an Alumni Council member.

Alumni Council members from class of 2005 (l to r): Jared Jackson Pollard, Alexis Smith, Sophia Ortiz, and Shaharris Beh.

Recently appointed transitional members from the graduating class of 2005 and earlier would be happy to take a call or email from any senior interested in learning more about volunteering with the Alumni Council. Contact Jonathan Burton in the Alumni Office to make contact with one of these alumni.

Questions may be directed to Jonathan Burton in the Office of Alumni Relations, jonathan.burton@tufts.edu or x7-3577 or 1-800-843-2586

More information regarding the dates for online voting will be posted on the Alumni website by mid-April.
