Class Officers' Handbook

On behalf of the Alumnae/i Association and the Office of Alumnae/i Relations and Annual Giving, thank you for volunteering for your class and for Wheaton.  Class Volunteers are a vital part of the Wheaton Alumnae/i Association.  As the chosen leaders of your classmates, the Alumnae/i Association and the college will look to you to help foster a sense of connection between your classmates and to encourage them to stay in contact with Wheaton.  You will also be charged with educating your classmates about Wheaton today and with maintaining class spirit between reunion years.  As you can see, being a class officer is a big job, but it can also be a lot of fun. 

This Class Officers’ Handbook is designed to answer questions you may have regarding class officer responsibilities, event planning and communication with your classmates.  A separate Reunion Handbook is available for class officers entering a reunion year.  Please read this handbook carefully and contact your staff liaison with any questions or feedback.

The Alumnae/i Board of Directors and the Alumnae/i Relations and Annual Giving staff are ready to assist you in any way we can, from providing advice and expertise on class issues to supplying class lists and mailing labels.  We are here to support you in all your class activities.  Please continue to let us know how the Alumnae/i Association can serve you better. 

Thank you for volunteering for Wheaton!
