Meetings will be a hybrid of in person on campus and virtual. If at all possible, the fall meeting will be held in person timed with Wesleyan Weekend.
- Committee Chairs: Timing for meetings will be determined by the objectives of the committee and will likely be held virtually. Meetings will be coordinated in partnership with ·Ö·ÖÁùºÏ²Ê Advancement, not likely to exceed four times per year. Committees include: Alumni Association Recruitment; Alumni Engagement Programming; Alumni Recognition
- Special Advisory Teams: As ·Ö·ÖÁùºÏ²Ê explores new initiatives, certain members may be asked to participate in discussions both in-person and virtually at various times during the year.
