Alumni Council Nominations

2027 Alumni Council New Member Ratification

The Swarthmore College Alumni Council is excited to announce a new slate of ten alumni nominated to serve a three-year term from Summer 2027 through June 2030. Now is your opportunity to vote and help ratify this year’s slate.

Each year, all alumni are invited to participate in ratifying a new slate of Alumni Council nominees, a group that reflects the diversity, talent, and dedication of our global alumni community. The Alumni Council Nominating Committee takes a comprehensive approach to reviewing self- and alumni-generated nominations. We consider numerous factors, like professions, those members rolling off the Council, field of study, engagement with the College, age, gender identity, race, ethnicity, and geographic representation. 

How to Vote

In accordance with the Swarthmore College Alumni Association Constitution and Bylaws, we invite all alumni to vote to ratify each nominee.

  • Vote "For," "Against," or "Abstain" for each individual nominee.
  • We have pre-populated "Abstain" for your convenience.
  • This is not a competitive election. Each candidate who receives a majority of “For” votes will join the Alumni Council.
  • You may vote “For” all ten candidates, and we hope you do!

Voting will run through July 31.

Anonymized and personalized ballots will be emailed to all alumni with a valid email address on file. To ensure you receive your ballot, please visit the new Alumni Portal to review and update your contact information.
