Columbus State University announced today the 2020-2021 Alumni Board. CSU's Alumni Association Board works with the University's Office of Alumni Engagement to build and maintain a base of loyal and active alumni who continue to support and participate in the affairs of the University. 

The board is comprised of alumni from across the university and bring diversity in class years, on-campus experiences, and degree programs. Yearly, CSU Alumni are nominated to serve on the Board of Directors and selected by a group of current board members. Nominations are open year round and can be found on the Alumni Association website here.
