The Rockhurst University Alumni Board of Directors
is an elite group of people admitted by peers.
The Alumni Board represents 16,000 alumni in Kansas
City and throughout the country. Involvement in
your alumni association can be what you make it;
it can be limited to participation in a social
event or ongoing participation on a committee.
Be involved with your alma mater...it is very rewarding!
