The GOLD Council is a leadership organization dedicated to fostering and sustaining relationships with graduates from Southeastern of the last decade to keep them engaged and actively involved with the University. The Council advises the Office of Alumni Relations and assists with developing programs and communications tailored to the newest alumni. The Council also acts to shepherd the development of volunteers and future leaders in ways that deepen their commitment to the University and prepare them for active alumni leadership roles. Members are elected from a body of former students who have graduated from Southeastern within the last ten years. They serve a two-year term with the option of serving two terms.
