Letter from the Alumni Director, PJ Thompson, M.A.E.D. '17

Hello Alumni and Friends,

Thank you all so much for the love and support you give to McKendree University. School is back in session. During the summer months, camps were hosted for high school and middle-school students all over campus. It was a joy to experience the young campers exploring our campus as they considered their options for college.

The Alumni Association continues to host more events and activities every year as a way of reaching out to our alumni in their communities. The Professional and Personal Development Committee organized several networking opportunities to train students and remind alumni about the importance of networking. The Alumni Engagement Committee planned a very successful homecoming and various other projects whenever needed. The Student Engagement Committee works with current students to help enhance their experiences. The committees continue to do great work and are always looking for volunteers. Thank you to all of those that have supported the McKendree University Alumni Association. It’s never too late to get involved and stay connected.

Do you have ideas for future alumni events that you would like to see happen?

Don’t forget to save the date for Homecoming, Oct. 26-28, 2018!

Go Bearcats!

PJ
