About the AYA

AYA Board of Governors' Committees

Committee work is crucial to the effectiveness of the AYA. Alumni and University concerns are reflected in the subjects adopted for discussion and study. Like the Assembly as a whole, the committees permit the examination of complex issues and facilitate the flow of information between the alumni and University officials.
