Serve as a Class Agent!
Have you stayed in touch with many of your Ancillae classmates? Are you interested in re-connecting with even more friends from your time at Ancillae?
Consider serving as a Class Agent. Ancillae is seeking one to two representatives from each Class to act as a liaison between Ancillae and our alumni community. Class Agents might encourage participation in and around Ancillae-sponsored events, such as Homecoming, the Candlelight service, and Reunions, as well as serve as a news feeder to and from Ancillae, for Class-specific events. We will be launching the program in 2025. If you are interested or want to learn more about being a Class Agent, please complete this form. Contact Debbie Giordano with questions at dgiordano@ancillae.org.
