alumni advisory board
The Meyerhoff Alumni Advisory Board first convened in July 2007 as part of the effort to encourage alumni involvement in the 20th Anniversary Research Symposium+Celebration. During the planning meetings associated with the anniversary, alumni expressed interest in creating an organization that would be officially connected to the Meyerhoff Scholars Program and UMBC as a whole. This organization would be self-sustaining and governing, its members would serve as a resource for current students, would operate in tandem with the Alumni Relations Staff and Meyerhoff Scholars Program staff, and serve the Meyerhoff alumni as a whole.
The resulting Meyerhoff Alumni Advisory Board will submit all official paperwork to the university in Spring 2009 with a goal of official recognition in Fall 2009 as the UMBC Chapter of Meyerhoff Alumni. The current board members encourage fellow Meyerhoff alumni to read a working draft of the future chapter’s bylaws.
The ongoing purpose of this alumni organization is to:
- Promote a relationship among the University of Maryland, Baltimore County (UMBC), the Meyerhoff Scholars Program in particular, and its alumni, parents, students, and friends
- Act as an extension of the University community; to enhance a sense of community, and to recognize the commitment and contributions of the Meyerhoff Scholars Program Alumni
- Encourage career development networks
- Serve as a resource for students and faculty
- Encourage communication between alumni and students through social and cultural activities with the purpose of extending the learning experience
