Association is a historical part of ABAC and was organized to support
activities which strengthen and enrich the educational and
extracurricular programs of the College.
Listen to the interview with Playwright Melita Easters.
The Association is
chartered to:
-
Seek
out and encourage well-qualified young people to attend ABAC.
- Develop a better understanding and appreciation
among the general public as
to the contribution ABAC makes to the
economic, social, cultural and spiritual life of Georgia.
- Work with the ABAC administration in recruiting and
retaining well-qualified and capable faculty members.
- Sponsor the annual homecoming activities and events.
- Work with the ABAC administration and the ABAC
Foundation, Inc. to secure funds which will strengthen and enrich
the educational and extracurricular programs of the College.
- Advise and counsel with the ABAC administration
relative to the feelings of the alumni and general public concerning
Abraham Baldwin Agricultural College.
The ABAC Alumni Association consists
of over 40,000 former students who have completed at least 15 quarter
hours or 10 semester hours at ABAC. The Director of Alumni
Affairs, based in the Office of College Advancement, serves as the staff
liaison to the Association.
The Alumni Association is governed
by a 31-member Board of Directors representing a wide cross
section of class years, majors and geographic locations. The board
meets four times a year. Within the Board, there are several
special interest groups represented. These include:
-
Young Alumni - those ABAC
attendees and graduates who have not reached their 36th birthday
-
Golden Alumni - those
ABAC attendees and graduates who have graduated 50 or more years ago
from ABAC or any of its three proceeding institutions;
-
Ag Alumni Council - those
ABAC attendees and graduates whose interests are in the fields of
agriculture, forest resources, family and consumer sciences and
veterinary medicine. (The Ag Alumni Council Board of
Directors guides the activities of this special interest group.)

Alumni Association include:
The work of the association is
funded by gifts made to the ABAC Foundation.

participation in the Abraham Baldwin Agricultural Alumni Association!
