Please Answer The Call!
Starting April 2,
our student callers will be hard at work reaching out to alumni on behalf of the Caldwell College
Annual Fund.
Did you know that the percentage of alumni who participate in the annual fund affects a college's rankings?
Your gifts, regardless of size, make a big difference. Just by participating, you can help raise the college's national profile and strengthen the value of your degree.
All contributions help to ensure that our students receive an outstanding education year after year.

 Dear Alumni,
At the Office of Development and Alumni Affairs, we are always looking for new ways to connect with our graduates and for our graduates to connect with current students and faculty. In February, we hosted the Alumni Hoops & Hoopla and last week
earlier this month, we invited alumni to participate in our annual Career & Internship Fair, as both representatives of their employers looking for new employees and job seekers looking to make new contacts. We are now regularly updating our friends via facebook and are active on LinkedIn.
As we move toward the middle of the spring semester, I hope you will consider the ways you might become more involved with us. Whether you choose to make a gift to our Annual Fund, attend one of our alumni-focused or fundraising events, serve on our Homecoming reunion planning committee, volunteer to serve on the Alumni Association Board, or mentor a current student, your participation and feedback help make staying connected with your alma mater a rewarding experience for you and our future graduates.
We look forward to hearing from you soon! Sincerely, Jenny Mundell Director of Alumni Affairs jmundell@caldwell.edu |

Alumni Cheer on the Cougars
at Hoops & Hoopla
On Saturday, March 2, over 60 guests gathered at Caldwell College's Alumni Hoops & Hoopla to catch up with old friends and cheer on the Cougars at their sixth CACC North Tournament appearance. Guests enjoyed an alumni free throw contest, bloody mary bar, and of course, fun times!
The Cougars beat Philadelphia University, 72-50. Though the women's team has been working hard all season, we like to think that alumni spirit helped them bring in the win!
After advancing to the finals, the Cougars ended their season with a loss to Holy Family University with a season record of 19-12.
