Huntsman Young Alumni Board
The Huntsman Young Alumni Board is all about connecting our most accomplished and dedicated young alumni to the Huntsman School and our current students. We want Young Alumni board members to feel good about giving back to the Huntsman School and the next generation of Huntsman Aggies. We understand you are in a demanding phase of life, so we are keeping the expectation for membership simple.
Attend Meetings
The board will meet twice per year on the Logan campus, usually on a Friday. We ask that each board member commit to attending at least one meeting per year in person. While board meetings will be virtually accessible, meeting days will be supplemented with other activities and events designed to connect board members and students in meaningful ways.
Donate to the Young Alumni Scholarship
Jon M. Huntsman, a philanthropic role model, generously donating over $1.5 billion, and impacting thousands of Aggies and Utah State University. The Young Alumni Scholarship, inspired by his impact on our students, consists of committed alumni who give or raise at least $1,000 to the Young Alumni Scholarship funds each year. By joining the Young Alumni Board, we invite you to participate and become a mentor for the students who receive this scholarship each academic year (Fall and Spring semester). These scholarship recipients will be students who have had the opportunity to show leadership and/or given back to their community. Together, we can ensure more Aggies access the affordable Huntsman experience.
