Meet your Alumni Leadership Council
The Alumni Leadership Council’s mission is to provide opportunities for alumni to connect and further their leadership and service in their communities. The Council also keeps the Foundation connected to the wider community of scholarship alumni and informs the strategy related to alumni and scholar engagement. Alumni contribute to the mission of the Foundation with “deeds, not dollars.”
Ways to engage
These three committees are open to all alumni.
- Community Service: Develop service initiatives that support alumni volunteerism in their communities.
- Professional Development: Develop and execute a series of professional development opportunities that primarily serve recently graduated alumni.
- Online Engagement: Engage alumni on the My Ford Family platform, and use the platform to facilitate connection among alumni.
Celebrate your milestones
The alumni community loves to celebrate the success of its members. Let us know about your personal milestones and professional, civic and academic achievements, and we’ll share them in the annual alumni magazine mailed each summer.
My Ford Family
Our online platform, My Ford Family, allows alumni to find each other based on geography, industry or university attended. Alumni find connections and stay in touch as well as learn about volunteer leadership opportunities, alumni events and how to support other alumni and Scholars.
Graduate Scholarship
We invite our alumni to visit MyFordInfo for more information on our competitive graduate scholarship program. This scholarship gives alumni who excelled in their undergraduate programs the opportunity to continue on to earn a master’s or doctoral degree.
