COMMUNITY
Despite the global pandemic, the 2021-22 year was a transformational one for the Mulgrave alumni community. Our alumni have adapted and continue to ‘inspire excellence in education and life’. Our team at Mulgrave has been dedicated to engaging our alumni through online and in person events, and uniting our community to build greater connections and stronger bonds. Activities for the school year included:
• Continued growth of Mulgrave
Connect (mulgraveconnect.com).
This easy-to-use social networking platform is where our alumni can find one another and share their own personal and professional journeys.
Through this tool, more than 582 of our alumni are now connected.
• Monthly publication of our
Alumni Digest. This digital newsletter features alumni activities and accomplishments and is published through Mulgrave
Connect.
• Annual publication of Cypress
Magazine. This print and digital publication shared alumni articles, milestones, and perspectives.
• December Homecoming and Grand
Opening of our new Athletics and
Performing Arts Centre. While still under COVID restrictions, we were delighted to host our annual alumni basketball game and the official ribbon cutting of our new facility. • Spring BBQ and Rugby Game. This fun-loving event was also a chance for about 70 alumni in attendance to bid farewell to long-time faculty
Martin Jones and Mark Steffens as they moved on from Mulgrave to a new adventure and retirement, respectively.
• Ongoing connections with our Alumni Board and Class
Representatives. These groups are critical to our community as they provide insight into how we best serve our alumni as well as engage their peers in school activities.
• Alumni and Senior School
engagement. We facilitated information sharing about postsecondary and professional experiences.
• Rachel Johnston (Class of 2014) joined as Alumni Relations
Coordinator and has been dedicated to connecting alumni with one another, faculty, and current students through work with the Alumni Board and Class
Representatives, ongoing social media content, events, and more.
As our alumni community grows, we continue to celebrate and recognise memories, events, and highlights in the monthly Alumni Digest, Cypress Magazine, and on social media (@ mulgravealum on Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter).
