Young Alumni Council

Core Values

YAC's work is grounded in four key pillars: career development, student engagement, traditions and young alumni engagement. These pillars inform the council's goals and initiatives on an annual basis and serve as the foundation of its work. The efforts and contributions of council members, while self-directed in nature and flexible by design, must align with these pillars.

Expectations of YAC Members

• Council members are expected to:
• Support council-wide programming and initiatives throughout the year
• Maintain annual giving during Mulementum by making a gift in any amount that is personally meaningful and to any designation of your choosing
• Participate in THAW (Toast Heard Around the World) by hosting or attending a group THAW event or through the Toast On Your Own option
• Participate in two engagement initiatives during the fall semester (remote or on campus) and two engagement initiatives during the spring semester (remote or on campus)
• Join The Muhlenberg Network

Engagement initiatives and council-wide programs are promoted to council members via the monthly YAC newsletter and through direct email communications from the president, vice president and members of the executive board.

Council members can choose in which two initiatives to engage during the fall and spring semesters, with many opportunities available to complete the required expectations. Members of the YAC are also encouraged to consider new ways in which they can fulfill their participation expectations, whether through an effort led by a specific academic department, the Career Center, etc. YAC members are expected to support council-wide initiatives and programs throughout the year to the best of their ability.
