Michelle Corby Joins Smeal College As Alumni Relations Director

UNIVERSITY PARK, PA -- Michelle Corby has joined Penn State’s Smeal College of Business as Alumni Relations Director. She will focus on the planning and implementation of alumni activities, events, and initiatives for an alumni base of more than 52,000 and act as a liaison between the Smeal College Alumni Association and the Penn State University Alumni Association.

Aimee Hamilton, the former Director, has assumed the newly created role of Assistant to the Executive Director of Leadership Gifts in the Office of University Development.

Corby was Director of Alumni Relations at Juniata College, where she led regional programming for more than 60 events annually in the United States and abroad. While at Juniata, Corby’s responsibilities included management of the alumni reunion; organization of a “Celebration of Juniata Women” event; design and implementation of a new annual Volunteer Training Conference; and oversight of various student-relations activities, such as shadowing and e-mentoring. She began at Juniata in 1999 as Assistant Director.

Corby holds a master of science in education with certification in secondary English from Duquesne University and a bachelor of arts in English and theatre studies from Juniata College.

The Smeal College formed its Alumni Society in the 1970s during the administration of Dean Emeritus Eugene J. Kelley to better serve the changing needs of the alumni, faculty, students, and staff of the college. Current programs sponsored by the board include mentoring and networking events on and off campus, classroom speakers, a student scholarship, and an array of alumni recognitions. Membership in the Society includes all graduates, former students, faculty, and friends of Smeal who are regular annual, life or associate members of the Penn State Alumni Association.
