The Franklin University Switzerland Alumni Association is governed by the Alumni Council, an advisory group that is made up of alumni volunteers. The Alumni Council works closely with the Office of Advancement to foster lifelong relationships between Franklin University Switzerland and its students and alumni.
Mission
The Mission of the Franklin Alumni Council is to actively involve alumni in the life of the University. The Council provides a forum for the discussion of alumni issues, concerns, and ideas, and provides a conduit to and from the Board of Trustees for such information.
Organizational Structure
The Alumni Council is led by two Alumni Trustees, who each serve a three-year term, and the Director of Alumni and Parent Relations. The Alumni Council typically meets three times a year, twice in New York and once in Lugano.
Activities
Members of the Alumni Council are involved in a variety of activities such as event planning, fundraising and career services among others. Alumni Council members make annual financial contributions to the Alumni Council Fund which funds the Council’s activates. Some of the projects and initiatives the Alumni Council sponsors include but are not limited to: Franklin Club Alumni Events, Alumni Council Sponsored Boat Cruise, Alumni Council Sponsored Art Competition, Borderless Student Alumni Forums and the Ursula Gentile Lowerre Outstanding Service Award.
