2012 Alumni Reunion

A lumni R eunion

June 8–10, 2012

Greetings!

The 2012 Alumni Reunion will be here before we know it and as the Benedictine College Executive Director of Alumni & Donor Relations, I want to personally invite you to come home to Atchison June 8–10.

Time stands still when you cross that bridge. Pick up right where you left off. See old friends, make new ones and tell your favorite stories! Some of you have not been back in several years and the campus has changed dramatically; our new Ferrell Academic Center will amaze you. The spirit, friendship and camaraderie of the Mount St. Scholastica, St. Benedict’s and Benedictine communities have not changed. Renew your spirit by coming home to Atchison.

We are still working on events and special class functions, so the schedule in this packet may change. Please note that the most current information will be listed at my.benedictine.edu/reunion12. Please register by filling out the enclosed registration form and mailing it in or by going to the website listed above and registering online with a MasterCard, VISA or Discover card.

If you have questions, please feel free to contact me, Tim Andrews, 800–766–0078 ext. 7427 or alumni@benedictine.edu.

For campus housing questions, please contact the Conferencing Office at 913–360–7699 or aniemann@benedictine.edu. Please reserve your room early at my.benedictine.edu/reunion12.

I look forward to seeing you in Atchison for the 2012 Alumni Reunion Weekend!

Tim Andrews, ’88 Executive Director of Alumni & Donor Relations
