Green & G.O.L.D. Society

The Green & G.O.L.D. Society was created to recognize our amazing recent graduates for giving back to ABAC through attending alumni events, volunteering, and donating to support future generations of ABAC students.

how does it work?
g.o.l.d graduates earn points for attending events, such as homecoming, for volunteering, and for making donations. once you have accumulated 400 points, you are inducted into the Green & G.O.L.D. Society.

the society has three levels:

bronze level (400 points)
emerald level (1100 points)
gold level (2100 points)

As part of our Green & GOLD Society, members receive special appreciation as well as recognition in the abac foundation’s Annual Report. listings in the annual report are based on points as of june 30.

how do i get started?
filling out the quick form using the link below earns you your first 5 points! you’ll hear from us on more ways to be involved.

a good second step is joining the alumni association – this will connect you even further with your alma mater and will put you on a vip list for exclusive events, college happenings, and other important information.

refer to the chart below for all the ways you can keep earning points. if you’re already doing some of these activities, you’ll get the points automatically.
