What to expect
Being a class officer is both an honor and a lot of fun. Class officers enjoy keeping in touch with classmates, working with other volunteers and celebrating Wheaton. Class officers serve five year terms that run from Reunion to Reunion.
Class officer responsibilities
- Be the voice of your classmates to the Alumnae/i Association.
- Produce an annual fall newsletter (click here for more information).
- Stay in touch with staff at Wheaton and the leadership of the Alumnae/i Association.
- Make a gift to the Wheaton Annual Fund that reflects your own resources and your commitment to Wheaton as a philanthropic priority.
- Join Annual Fund volunteers in seeking financial support for Wheaton's people and programs.
- Identify potential volunteer leaders among your classmates.
- Maintain enthusiasm and class spirit in the years between Reunions.
- Serve on the Reunion planning committee during your Reunion year.
Expectations of all class officers
- Provide active support to all class officers as they assume their responsibilities, including attending class gatherings and making an annual gift to the Annual Fund.
- Keep written records to be passed on to successors.
- Attend Alumnae/i Leadership Conference (ALC), held on campus each fall, where you will receive practical information and guidelines along with current news from Wheaton and the Alumnae/i Association. If you are unable to attend ALC weekend, appoint at least one representative who can attend and update absent officers.
- Communicate to your classmates news of class activities, as well as upcoming college plans and activities. This is done primarily through an annual class officers' newsletter, which is usually written at, or immediately following, ALC and is due to your staff contact by November 9.
