The Penn State Smeal College of Business 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. The board consists of twenty at-large members who may serve three consecutive three-year terms, as well as a revolving roster of ex-officio members representing the students, faculty, and administration of the College.
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.
