Alumni News

Dear Fellow Alumni,

As many of you know, I was delighted to have been brought on as Packer’s new Director of Alumni this past fall. I did not imagine such a development when I walked through the doors on Joralemon over 20 years ago!

As I stepped into this role and reflected on my own experiences, I realized Packer was the place that changed the trajectory of my life; the lessons learned here enriched and empowered me. In turn, I have used those skills to both champion and challenge the school over the years, first as a student representative at the NAIS Student Diversity Leadership Conference and, until last spring, serving as the Recent Graduate Trustee on Packer’s Board of Trustees. Now, it is an honor to join the Packer administration as I work to support and advance our alumni community.

I look forward to connecting with alumni across decades of Packer’s history. If you’d like to reach me, receive correspondence and alumni news, or reconnect with Packer, there are many ways to stay connected to your alma mater:

• Join us for Packer Reunion: Friday, May 19 + Saturday, May 20. All are welcome as we celebrate the classes ending in 3 and 8.

• Stay in touch by updating your contact information at packer.edu/alumnicontactinfo

• Follow us on Instagram @packer_alumni and @packercollegiate or on Facebook.

• Check out Packer’s newsfeed at packer.edu/news to read about the latest happenings on campus today.

• Watch your inbox for periodic Alumni Newsletters and your mailbox for The Packer Magazine.

• Email me at rhope@packer.edu if you have ideas about new ways for alumni to connect to each other or the school. Want to speak to a class, connect with Packer teachers or host a regional meetup? Reach out.

Alumni are Packer’s mission living in action as our experiences and contributions in society echo beyond the “old grey ivied walls.” I am excited to connect, collaborate, and celebrate the Packer alumni community as we move forward together.

With purpose and heart,

Ronnette Hope ’07 Director of Alumni
