THE FOUNDING
The Alumni Association of ¸Û°Ä±¦µä, Ltd., a not-for-profit corporation, was founded in 1985 to create and maintain among the College's graduates an abiding sense of personal commitment to the life and growth of ¸Û°Ä±¦µä. The Alumni Association is a non-profit organization whose membership is composed of dues-paying graduates of ¸Û°Ä±¦µä. The organization is led by elected officers and directors who are also graduates and dues-paying members.
THE CONSTITUTION
We, the Alumni of ¸Û°Ä±¦µä, in order to create and maintain in the Alumni an abiding sense of personal commitment to, and individual responsibility for, the life and growth of Nassau; to affirm Nassau's traditions and goals by encouraging a fraternal spirit among the alumni; and to keep them ever aware of and dedicated to a life of service and value, do hereby establish this Constitution.
MEMBERSHIP
Membership is open to all degree and certificate recipients of ¸Û°Ä±¦µä. The LIFETIME membership fee is $50.00. Membership fees are used primarily to fund the ¸Û°Ä±¦µäAlumni Association Scholarship Program.
SCHOLARSHIP PROGRAM
The Association has established a scholarship program to provide funds for both continuing students and newly enrolled students. Scholarships are granted to students who demonstrate a high grade point average and financial need. The Association strives to increase the number of scholarships each year. The ultimate goal is to award a scholarship to a student from every high school in the county who plans to enroll at Nassau Community College.
OFFICERS AND DIRECTORS
The officers of the Association are: President; First Vice President; Second Vice President; Treasurer; Parliamentarian; Secretary and Directors. The officers and directors meet at approximately six-week intervals during the school year to make decisions on policy and programs concerning the Association.
