Each member serves a three-year term. Every year, they meet before Alumnae Day to review the past year's opportunities and set goals for the year to come.

Board of Visitors members are selected and notified in the fall. If you are interested in the program or would like to nominate someone, please contact the Alumnae Office for more information.

Your Communications Class Agent is your connection to the Hockaday Magazine and the Alumnae Office. Please contact your Communications Class Agent at her email listed below with any news or updates, whether it's a college graduation, birth of a child, a promotion or retirement or the accomplishments of your family.

Always feel free to contact her if you have any questions or if you are interested in volunteering for Hockaday fund raising activities like the Annual Fund Connect-a-thons. They are a great way to stay in touch with your classmates.
