The Alumni Executive Council (AEC) is essentially the management arm of the Washington & Jefferson College Alumni Association, to which all alumni belong. Working with the Office of Alumni Relations, our 22 members advocate for alumni interests and implement priorities for alumni communications, programming and services.

The Programming Committee
The Programming Committee assists the College in establishing additional alumni-student programming opportunities. Of particular interest to the AEC is an alumni-student mentor program, currently in the pilot stage. The program matches AEC members and students for a mutually beneficial relationship.
The Communications Committee
The Communications Committee advises the Office of Alumni Relations on the various vehicles used to communicate with alumni, as well as provides a critical eye to the messages crafted for the alumni community.
The Governance Committee
The Governance Committee is responsible for selecting alumni association award recipients, selecting new Council members, and monitoring the alumni association by-laws. The Governance Committee is currently developing an AEC mission statement, which will serve as a foundation for future AEC initiatives.
