The Young Alumni Council (YAC) develops future leaders who help advance The Catholic University of America.
Speaking on behalf of alumni of the past ten years, YAC helps the University to best engage young alumni.
This volunteer group strengthens bonds among young alumni and students. By focusing on career development, service projects, and social programs, YAC helps young alumni achieve their professional and personal goals, and YAC helps students prepare for life after graduation.
