Alumni Welcome


WELCOME, ALUMNI!

We recently celebrated Spiritual Emphasis Week, and we are so grateful for each ministry and non-profit representative who joined us on campus, including alumnus Adam DeVries '00. With opportunities for students to grow spiritually, spend time across divisions, and serve our community, we are thankful for this long-standing FRA tradition. 

Homecoming and Reunion weekend is set for Friday and Saturday, September 20 and 21. Mark your calendars and plan to be here for a great weekend. It is also now time for the classes of 4s and 9s to plan reunion parties! I am looking forward to helping you plan and celebrate your reunions. Contact me if you want to help plan your party, and I will connect you with classmates.

If you are interested in taking a tour and visiting campus, send me a note, and let's make a plan! I love to watch alumni reconnect with a special faculty member or with a space on campus that was special to them. Spring is a great time to come walk campus with me.

 


All the best,
