ALUMNI ASSOCIATION

Dear Graduate:

As Director of Alumni Relations, I would like to congratulate you on your important milestone and officially welcome you to the Friends University Alumni Association. We hope your Friends experience has been fulfilling and life-changing in so many ways.

An engaged alumnus has a significant impact on prospective and current students; we hope that you will make it your mission to stay involved with the university by participating in the many campus and alumni events that take place throughout the year. We’d love to see you!

Staying in touch with alumni is very important to us, so please make sure to send an email from time-totime to keep us updated on your accomplishments.

Congratulations on your achievement! The Friends University Alumni Association wishes you happiness and success in whatever path you choose to follow, but remember: the path to Friends is one we hope you will travel again and again.

Best wishes!

Jessica Boone Director of Alumni Relations
