alumni

alumni association

the alumni association is a vital part of today's lawrenceville. every three years, lawrentians help to fulfill one of the most important duties by approving the slate of officers who will serve the alumni association.
the alumni association is one of lawrenceville’s most important organizations, dating back to the school’s earliest days. any student who attended the lawrenceville school for two or more terms is considered a member, as is any honorary classmate.
 
the association is governed by an executive committee inclusive of a president and two vice presidents, nine appointed members, and a faculty representative. ex-officio members include representatives from each of the regional alumni clubs, the young alumni council, alumni trustees, the head of school, the president of the board, and the chairs of the lawrenceville fund. the executive committee, among its other responsibilities, is responsible for the final selection of recipients for the distinguished alumnus award, the lawrenceville medal (aka aldo leopold award), and the alumni distinguished teaching award. the committee also annually selects an alumnus/a to serve a four-year term on the board of trustees.
