Greetings !

A lot has happened in the past month since our last newsletter! The Chicagoland-leg of Dr. Hammond's Inaugural Tour has wrapped up and been a great success, meeting upwards of 1,000 alumni - a special congratulations to Bhavini Shah '98 who was the lucky alumna to be number 1,000 (We knew the Alumni Family could do it! You can view photos of the tour events here). Be sure to check the Alumni Calendar for up-to-date events and information. We've also held the College's first Presidential Webcast and connected with alumni all across the nation - and all across the world! Being able to connect to our alumni in this way allows us to connect and engage with members of our alumni family who can't make it home more often, but of course, we always want you to come back to campus! Be sure to make plans to join us for Cornerstone Week for all of our annual events, as we celebrate Dr. Hammond's Inauguration as the College's 10th President. As always, it sure is an exciting time to be a Cardinal! 

 

With Cardinal Pride,
