Alumni Council

The Wake Forest University School of Business Alumni Council acts as a sounding board for alumni engagement activities which promote the interconnectedness between our students and alumni, as well as the school and current industry trends. Council members participate on quarterly zoom calls, attend two council meetings in Farrell Hall  (fall & spring) and actively serve on project teams. Prospective Alumni Council members have been alumni of the School of Business for at least five years. This criterion ensures that candidates bring seasoned perspective and valuable experience to the council’s initiatives, benefiting our alumni community with diverse insights and long-term impact.

Alumni Council members are organized into the following regions below: North Carolina, Mid-Atlantic and Southeast, Northeast, and West.
