ACES Alumni Association History
  • College of Agriculture Alumni Association
  • Began in 1956
  • Supporters believed that such an organization
    could effectively promote student enrollments, to
    foster college wide programs and activities, and
    provide a system for alumni recognition, gifts,
    and endowments. Above all, the organization was
    needed to help renew alumni "spirit" and pride in
    the past history and accomplishments of the
    College.
  • Meeting participants also expressed a need for
    renewed College and alumni spirit and an improved
    capability to lobby for increased College funding
    and badly needed capital improvements.
  • School of Human Resources and Family Studies
    Alumni Association
  • Began in 1974 - The first meeting of the Home
    Economics Alumni Association was held, Saturday
    morning, November 9, 1974, Student Lounge, Bevier
    Hall.
  • Many changes were taking place that called for
    support of alumni during this time
  • The Department of Home Economics changed from a
    Department to a School status, new name.
  • Financial support was needed. State Funds
    available for new or replacement equipment, and
    money for expenses had decreased. Giving by
    alumni and friends of the School became
    increasing important and necessary in order to
    maintain a continued degree of excellence in
    education.
  • Student recruitment and job placement of
    graduates was a concern for both faculty and
    alumni.
  • Merger
  • In 2006, the ACES Alumni Association celebrated
    the 50th anniversary with the Agriculture and
    Home Economics Alumni Association merging in 1995
    to become the College of ACES Alumni Association.
