Thursday, July 11, 2019, By John Boccacino
Share

The Syracuse University Alumni Association (SUAA) Board of Directors has announced the addition of four new directors. Jermie Cozart ’97, Elisabeth Dwyer ’06, Peter Gianesini ’94 and Eve Marsan ’96 became directors on the SUAA Board on July 1.

The SUAA Board of Directors guides the Syracuse University Alumni Association in establishing priorities for alumni engagement consistent with University goals. Board members have distinguished themselves as leaders within the alumni community while demonstrating a personal commitment to the University. They are ambassadors who have great knowledge of the University’s history, traditions and activities.

The board’s mission is to create an environment in which Syracuse University alumni, students, parents and friends develop lifelong connections to the University and support it with their work, wisdom and wealth. The term length is two years, and board members can serve up to two terms. Committees within the board structure include Awards, Clubs, Diversity and Inclusion, Generation Orange (graduates of the last 10 years), Nominating, Philanthropy, and Veterans and Military Engagement.

The SUAA Board of Directors will hold its fall meeting Friday, Sept. 13, during Orange Central, the University’s annual Reunion and Homecoming celebration.

Here is more information about the four new SUAA Board members:
