Help keep your class informed about all things Knox
Staying in touch with your former classmates and helping each other stay connected to Knox plays a vital role in keeping alumni relationships with the College strong.
A Class Leadership Team is a key group of alumni who facilitate ways for their peers and former classmates to be engaged with Knox by sharing campus news and updates, asking for Class Notes and updated contact information, encouraging attendance at events and participation in volunteer opportunities, as well as advocating the importance of giving back to Knox.
Read more about what Class Leadership Teams do.
Guidelines for Class Correspondents (PDF) Class Notes are generally due to the Alumni Office by January 31 or by July 15 for the spring and fall magazines, respectively.
Would you be interested in serving on your class leadership team? Contact Jennifer Gallas at jgallas@knox.edu or at 309-341-7957.
