The Future Alumni Committee (FAC) works to make connections with current alumni and keep connections between current and future alumni.
FAC allows current students to connect with alums who may have graduated with similar majors so that they are able to gain insight on job opportunities and how the field works.
“The job world deals with not only what you know, but who you know,” said Jody Bangerter, president of FAC.
Currently, FAC is trying to transition from newsletters it used to send out to current students to an online blog where alumni will be able to see what is going on in the Saint Mary’s University community while sharing what they are doing with current students.
FAC is also in charge of the finals kits that are distributed to some students at the end of each semester and plans “Winter Week,” a week of events such as sledding and a pizza party at the Student Activities Committee movie, in February.
Meetings for FAC are held monthly and are determined on a month-to-month basis. Anyone interested in joining can email Bangerter at jabang07@smumn.edu.
“We would love anyone and everyone to come to a meeting to help with ideas and plans in helping us connect with alumni,” Bangerter said.
