KIT A WELCOME TO OUR NEWEST ALUMNI
Hello, Class of 2022! As the Alumni Director, I would like to be the first to officially welcome you into the Roeper alumni community! As you make this transition from Roeper students to alumni, you are joining nearly 2,500 alumni who have come before you and have thrived in their lives after Roeper
Our hope is that this school has prepared you for your journey not only as college students but also as human beings in every aspect of your lives Here at Roeper, you have been encouraged to voice your opinions, shape decisions that impact our community, treat each other with dignity and respect, and to lead your lives with purpose I hope that your experience at Roeper has provided you with the skills and confidence to help you fulfill your own personal destiny, whatever that may be
Even though it is now time for you to move on, please know that all of us want to keep in touch with you We invite you to come back and visit during school events and participate in alumni reunions and events too We want to keep in touch with you and celebrate your milestones because you are, and always will be, a part of the Roeper family And parents, that includes you, too You are all a part of this family, and I promise to do my best to serve as a bridge that keeps you connected to the school
The completion of your Roeper journey is a big accomplishment, but graduation is not the end; It is only the beginning And I’m here to tell you you’re not alone You will always have an entire community here at Roeper behind you, as well as an entire community of Roeper alums who have come before you
For those of you who were here in the Lower School, remember when the Upper Schoolers mentored you? Your Upper School homeroom buddy is out there, and they probably just finished college not too long ago Maybe they can make a connection for you, lend a helping hand, offer advice, or just lend an ear My point is that Roeper people are everywhere, and they are eager to connect and serve as a resource for you And don’t ever forget, you also have each other and the lifelong friendships you’ve made here
As is tradition, the alumni office has included a small gift in the bags you are receiving today, a mug listing all of your classmates and a personalized laundry bag so no one takes your dirty laundry Believe me, weirder things happen in college dorm rooms!
On that note, once again, congratulations Class of 2022, and welcome to the Roeper alumni family!
