Alumni Council
The Ball State University Alumni Association supports programs that nurture and strengthen relationships between the University and its alumni and encourage support of the University by its alumni and friends.
The Alumni Council is the governing body of the Alumni Association, with members serving as ambassadors for the University. The Council is composed of the officers of the Alumni Association, 12 at-large members elected by the Alumni Council, representation from each Constituent Organization, two Alumni Association representatives to the Ball State University Board of Trustees, two Alumni Association representatives to the Ball State University Foundation Board of Directors, one Foundation Finance and Operations ex-officio liaison, the President of the Alumni Association, and up to three Executive Committee At-Large members.
Alumni Council nominations are accepted throughout the year. Self-nominations are accepted. New members are elected in June and begin a three-year term on July 1. To nominate a BSU graduate to the Alumni Council, submit an online nomination. The deadline for nominations is April 30 for consideration for the June elections.
