Welcome to the Board

Bauer College Alumni Association Elects New Board Members 

Staying connected to the C. T. Bauer College of Business doesn’t end after graduation – the Bauer experience only grows through the Bauer College Alumni Association (BCAA).  

The college’s alumni association is a network of involved graduates who help members develop professionally and grow personally through a slate of events, including happy hours, tailgates and volunteer opportunities, and other activities.  

BCAA recently elected new members of the Executive Board of Directors and Committee Chairs.
