The �鶹�� Alumni Association recently welcomed four new members to its alumni board.

Jan Bode ’72, Kim Brower ’93, Glory Emmanuel ’19, and Jeff Meitler ’16 began their three-year term of service earlier this year. The incoming group, which was approved by the alumni board, is now part of a 22-member board that hails from 10 U.S. states and one Canadian province. Like Calvin’s current student body, the board represents a breadth of geographic, ethnic, and racial diversity and includes alums from the 1970s and 2010s and every decade in between.
