[director of alumni relations] While sitting in the library this fall among alumni spanning more than 50 graduating years, it was impossible to ignore the distinct ties that bind our community. Over the decades, Friends Seminary has consistently educated conscientious, service-minded, generous, and passionate alumni. Simply put, our alumni community is rich in “good human beings.” In times when the news is saturated with political and economic discord, juxtaposed with reality star drama, it is comforting to be a part of a community with values that transcend this noise. As you read through this issue, I urge you to consider the many ways you can take advantage of the incredible resources within the Friends alumni community. Contact someone from another class who is doing something that inspires you. Join the Friends alumni group on LinkedIn and connect with fellow alumni who can offer you networking opportunities. Start a conversation about current events with members of the alumni group on Facebook. Make a date with your classmates to join you at an upcoming alumni event.
