Young Alumni Council

Established in May of 2008, the Young Alumni Council was formed for the purpose of addressing issues related to, and advocating for the needs of Young Alumni. They are the voice of GVSU Young Alumni, working toward unity in meaningful experiences, and stronger connections with GVSU. The YAC also creates and plans multiple events throughout the year.

The YAC meets three times per year to accomplish its three main goals:

Event Programming The YAC plans four main events per year specifically for Young Alumni, with a balance between educational, social, networking, sporting and community service offerings. Additional social and networking events also take place intermittently, or as you want them! The events are purposeful, providing opportunities for personal and professional growth, and are designed to meet your professional, educational, social and philanthropic needs while ensuring quality and excellence.

Communication The YAC and Alumni Association recognize the important role Young Alumni play at GVSU. The YAC works to promote its programs and events and Alumni Association benefits

Participation The YAC encourages continued relationships with GVSU, fostering active involvement and helping to develop future volunteers and leaders. The YAC stresses participation in other areas of University life and members of the YAC hold spots on the Alumni Association Board, as well as at-large roles on the Alumni Association Awards Committee, to help select the Young Alumni and Outstanding Educator award winners.
