Anyone who has completed a
minimum of 10 semester hours of education credit is eligible for membership in
the ABAC Alumni Association. Only those who have earned 30 or more hours are
considered active alumni. The Ag Alumni Council, a special interest group of
the Association, consists of alumni from agriculture, family and consumer
sciences (home economics), forest resources and veterinary medicine.
The purpose of the
Association is to promote activities designed to strengthen and enrich the
education and extracurricular programs of ABAC so the college can make a
maximum contribution to the economic, social, cultural, and spiritual life of
Homecoming, which includes
the annual meeting of the Association, is held in April of each year and
continues to grow in number and enthusiasm. Awards are presented to alumni
annually who have excelled in various professions.
The alumni newspaper, ABAC
Today, is published to keep alumni and friends abreast of happenings of the
college. It is mailed to all active alumni and donors.
There are no dues, but
financial requests are made through the ABAC Foundation. Contributions to the
Foundation fund alumni activities including the alumni newspaper, homecoming,
the awards program and alumni scholarships as well as other campus activities.
