Dear Alumni,
Last weekend our alumni ranks grew by 463 new members. For many of us, this time of year is full of excitement mixed with the anticipation of new beginnings. For our recent graduates and their families, it is a time of jubilation and planning for the next step. We offer a hearty congratulations to those graduates and their families.
For Caldwell College, come July 1, we will start to refer to ourselves as Caldwell University, an occasion that also marks the beginning of an exciting time here. In September, we will continue to celebrate university status as well as our 75th anniversary. In the meantime, we'll be busy planning new events and programming to keep our alumni connected. We look forward to seeing you when we kick off the 2014/15 academic year at our 75th Anniversary and Homecoming events beginning September 19 and 20.
Finally, as we close out this academic year, I hope you will consider making a gift to the Caldwell College Annual Fund. Your support, at any level, helps the college rankings (which strengthens the power of your degree) and has the ability to change the lives of our students. Make your gift online today.
Congratulations again to the 2014 graduates!
Sincerely,
Jenny Mundell Director, Alumni Affairs |
