{About NCAA}

The New College Alumnae/i Association was founded in 1985 as a non-profit association adjunct to the New College Foundation, Inc. The purpose of the Association is to "promote communication among Alumnae/i and between Alumnae/i and New College to sponsor activities and events for Alumnae/i to advise the President of New College of Florida and the President of the New College Foundation, Inc. of Alumnae/i concerns and to provide financial and other assistance to New College in carrying out its educational mission."

All graduates of New College shall become members of the Association upon graduation. Any person who has withdrawn from New College after having completed at least one academic term shall become a member of the Association upon advising the Secretary of the Association in writing of his desire to become a member. In addition, the Board of Directors may designate an "Honorary Alumnae/i." Dr. Robert Benedetti, former Provost and Political Science Professor at New College, was, on May 25, 2007, named an Honorary Alum, and was the last such person honored in that capacity.
