LAS Alumni Association

LAS welcomes new members to its volunteer board.
November 1, 2008

The many wonderful cultural and social events hosted by the college each year would not be possible without the time and support of the LAS Alumni Association Board. These 12 devoted alumni volunteer their time in indentifying possible events and in helping to bring this great programming to you. They also serve as ambassadors for the college within their communities and select individuals who will be honored with the college’s alumni awards.

Joining the board this past May for a four-year term were Erika Jones of Highland Park and Charles Biro of Hyde Park (second row, left and right), and Jerrold Levy of Deerfield and Gary Greenspan of Northbrook (back row, second and seventh from the left). The student representative for this year is Joey Levin (back row, fourth from left), who is majoring in psychology and molecular biology.
