We are the Hobart Alumni Council and the governing body of the Hobart Alumni Association, which includes every person who has attended Hobart and whose class has graduated. The Alumni Council conducts the Association's business. The first alumni group, The House of Convocation, was founded at Hobart College in 1848. Today, just as then, the Alumni Council promotes the interests of Hobart College and strengthens the bonds between the College and its alumni.
