Alumni Newsletter


This newsletter is the principal means of communication between Concordia and our alumni to keep you informed of news and events occurring at your alma mater and offer alumni a wide variety of ways to participate in the University community.

Greetings!
 
It is with mixed emotions that I bring to you news of my move from Concordia. After 8 years with the University, four as a student and four as an employee, I will be starting a new position with Thrivent Financial. I am sad to be leaving my friends and family at Concordia, as it has become my home. However, I know that God has truly blessed me with an opportunity that will take me to my home town and back to my family.

Please direct all Alumni and Parent Relations inquiries to alumni@cuw.edu or Diane Zirger at 262-243-4589. It has been an honor serving you and I look forward to seeing you all at alumni events in the future!

Blessings,

Nicole

Concordia University Wisconsin is in the final year of our first ever comprehensive campaign, titled Renewed by the Waters. This campaign was designed to raise needed funds for our new School of Pharmacy and Center for Environmental Stewardship buildings, updates to our athletic fields, the Concordia Annual Fund, which supports the overall health of the University, and our Endowment, which provides scholarships to students and supplements the ever rising cost of tuition.

Thanks to anonymous CUW donors, the alumni have been given a challenge gift to help increase alumni participation. From now until the end of June 2012, all first-time alumni gifts will be matched dollar-for-dollar (i.e. your gift of $25 = $50)! Help us make a final push as we reach the end of our Renewed by the Waters campaign by increasing alumni participation. Every gift matters and you can make a difference at CUW!

To learn more about the campaign or to make a gift, please visit our Renewed By The Waters website.

Alumni Directory Update 

 
The Alumni Association has partnered with Publishing Concepts, Inc. (PCI) to bring you a new edition of the Concordia University Wisconsin Alumni Directory this coming spring. PCI has been contacting our alumni for the last 6 months and is in the final stages of information gathering. If you have not yet responded to participate, we ask you to do so now so that you can be a part of the project. Please email michelle.buss@cuw.edu if you have any questions regarding the directory.
