These 12 alums bring expertise and broad experience to their roles — not to mention their desire to continue investing in the institution that influenced them as students. The board includes a specially designated alumni representative who also serves on the Alumni Council. This year, Beth Prentice ’79 was appointed to this role. Please continue to pray for all of the board members as they guide the University toward dynamic Kingdom service.
