Dear alumni and friends,

I often find myself thinking about the connections I have made throughout my lifetime that have led me to where I am today. Those connections with new friends, peers and professionals, regardless of how small they may have seemed at the time, grew very powerful as we leaned on each other for support, camaraderie and advice. I look to them still as I serve alumni and students at Central Penn College. There is no denying that the connections you make in your lifetime hold incredible meaning and importance. Imagine a map of the world and the United States. What I love about the connections that alumni have made at Central Penn College is that there are countless dotted lines all across the globe that connect you back to your college friends, professors and alma mater. No matter what country or state you live in, or where you travel, Central Penn is with you. And never before has the opportunity to connect back to campus held more promise. When I started at Central Penn, I gave my word to offer more resources and opportunities for alumni. That promise has led to several exciting initiatives you can look forward to in 2015. Central Penn’s ever-growing alumni base will be offered even more special events, a homecoming event and a full-time alumni engagement office. In the meantime, it is incredibly important to me to meet face- to-face with alumni and give you the opportunity to weigh in on On August 12, Central Penn celebrated Dr. Karen the future of alumni engagement at Central Penn.
