"According to His great mercy, He has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead." (1 Peter 1:3)
Greetings CUW Alumnus/a,
Spring is upon us here at Concordia University and with spring comes lots of exciting things like warmer weather, spring break, and Easter. During this year's spring break we had many students go on mission trips to Guatemala, Kentucky, and Louisiana to build homes for those in need. Mission Trips are a wonderful opportunity for our students to bring the love of Christ to others, especially during this Easter season when we remember the love Christ has for us and the sacrifice He made to save us.
As an alumnus/a, we want you to continue your Concordian experience post-graduation and hear how we can serve you better. It is important for us to know how you feel about this University and what you expect from us as an Alumni Association. In early April watch your inbox for an alumni survey, your opinion as an alumnus/a does matter to us. We hope you will take the time to participate in this survey and thank you in advance for your participation.
As always, please feel free to contact me with any ideas or questions you might have.
He has Risen Indeed! Hallelujah!
Michelle "Mickie" Wagner
Director of Alumni & Parent Relations
