During the past year, the Partridge Society Board gathered input from the community and collaborated with university leadership to improve how we celebrate new and upgraded members. We heard that people want to be thanked in smaller groups and would like more opportunities to connect with current students.

In response, the Board was pleased to add a new event to the Homecoming schedule to recognize donors who have recently achieved lifetime-and-above milestones. The Friday evening reception featured signature cocktails designed by NUAA President Brian Gibbons ’99. Hosted by President Mark Anarumo, the soiree was a welcome addition to the Homecoming schedule and will be an event the Partridge Society Board looks forward to hosting again in 2023. n

Reed Curry is an associate vice president in the Office of Development & Alumni Relations.
