I would like to call into question the definition of alumni as it pertains to the alumni advisor.
From merriam-webster
Alumni:
* Main Entry: alum·nus
* Pronunciation: \ə-ˈləm-nəs\
* Function: noun
* Inflected Form(s): plural alum·ni \-ˌnī\
* Etymology: Latin, foster son, pupil, from alere to nourish — more at old
* Date: 1645
1 : a person who has attended or has graduated from a particular school, college, or university
2 : a person who is a former member, employee, contributor, or inmate
The question I ask is since Josrocket is still a student at WCU (a graduate student), is he technically considered an alumni? I ask because clearly if josrocket looked up his records at the school, he would be listed as a graduate student, not an alumni. I’m not trying to stir the pot here, just get a clarification so we can be more specific in the club’s constitution.
We could always make it so “alumni is defined as having received a degree from WCU” or something.
