President's Advisory Council
At the invitation of the president of Colby-Sawyer College, alumni and community friends of the college serve as a “think tank” for community cultivation and education. The advice and support of these individuals helps to strengthen college relations in New London and neighboring towns as we continue to build relationships and respond to changing conditions in the community. Each council member brings a special talent and wisdom to their role as they participate in meaningful conversations with the president about significant topics relating to the college and the community.
The council meets four times during each academic year, once near the opening of the college and once after every Board of Trustees meeting. For additional information regarding the President's Advisory Council, please contact Sharon Ames in the Office of Public Programs and Stewardship at (603) 526-3720 or via e-mail at sames@colby-sawyer.edu.
President's Alumni Advisory Council
The President's Alumni Advisory Council (PAAC) was founded in the spring of 2005 to give alumni a voice in college conversation. PAAC meets twice a year for an entire day and has become an influential and important group at the college. At each meeting members focus on and offer advice about current college topics, such as strategic planning, enrollment, diversity and marketing.
PAAC members are also given the opportunity to learn how the college functions and to meet faculty and students. Members are selected by the president based on their skills, experience and insight. For more information, contact Tracey Austin in Alumni Relations (603) 526-3886 or taustin@colby-sawyer.edu.
