    Meet Our Board

    The Mastodon Alumni Community Advisory Board is a collaborative group that provides guidance and support to the office. The Board also helps to develop and assists in implementing programs, services, activities, and resources to engage alumni. It is the responsibility of the Advisory Board members to advocate for the needs of the Mastodon Alumni Community. The work of the Advisory Board is directly aligned with the Strategic Plan of the Office of Alumni Engagement and supports the vision and mission of the Mastodon Alumni Community.

    The Advisory Board of Directors of the Mastodon Alumni Community is comprised of alumni who represent a broad spectrum of alumni including diverse perspectives, cities of residence, and so much more. Members are invited by the Office of Alumni Engagement to join.

    The Advisory Board is integral to the success of the Mastodon Alumni Community and Purdue Fort Wayne. Each member has the opportunity to serve a two-year term. After each term, the Office of Alumni Engagement may invite a member to serve an additional term, for a maximum of three continuous terms.
