Student Alumni Representatives Council - Phillips Exeter Academy

Who are the Student Alumni Representatives (STARs) Council?

The STARs Council leads the charge in educating, engaging and inspiring Exeter students about the powerful impact of philanthropy at Exeter.

Through creative outreach, spirited events and peer-to-peer connections, the Council helps students understand how donor support—from alumni, families and students—helps shape the Exeter experience both inside and outside the classroom.

Working in close partnership with the office of Institutional Advancement, members of the Council serve as a vital link between current students and the broader Exeter community. Their mission is to foster a culture of gratitude and giving on campus, encouraging students to embrace non sibi and make philanthropy a meaningful part of their Exeter journey—today and in the years to come.

What does the STARs Council do?

The STARs Council members play a key role in the Academy’s Advancement office. Members volunteer their time to activities throughout the year including (but not limited to):

Alumni Senior Dinner
Student Panels during regional alumni events
Family Weekend Registration
Senior Class Gift Kickoff
Knowledge and Goodness Day
Spring Senior Class Fundraising event

"As students at the Academy, it’s empowering to be aware of how Exeter’s money is handled and know the ways it affects us."
