THE ALUMNI ASSOCIATION The Alumni Association includes in its membership all graduates of The Bible Institute of Los Angeles, Incorporated, and recipients of honorary degrees. Also, any former student who finished at least one-half of his course may apply and be voted into membership by the Alumni Executive Committee. Its associate membership comprises all students who have been regularly enrolled for one or more semesters of study. The purpose of the Alumni Association is to preserve the spirit of fellowship through the years, and to serve by advertising, by distribution of literature, and by the undertaking of such projects as require unified support. This Association is composed of 3,708 graduates. Approximately 35% of the alumni have entered foreign missionary service. Alumni Day is observed twice a year, a midyear meeting for fellowship and the annual reunion at Commencement, at which time officers are installed for the ensuing year.
