A MESSAGE FROM OUR ALUMNI ASSOCIATION PRESIDENT

As I step into the role of President of the King’s Alumni Association, I want to begin by expressing my deep gratitude to my predecessor, Colin Whitehead, for his incredible leadership and dedication over the past several years. Under Colin’s guidance, the Alumni Association thrived, and he has left us a solid foundation to build upon. I am honoured to follow in his footsteps and excited to embark on this new chapter together.

This fall, we had a wonderful time welcoming alumni back to campus for our Homecoming events. The Women in Law and Public Policy Symposium was a standout moment, where we heard from incredible women leaders making waves in their fields. The Alumni Awards Ceremony was also a highlight, as we celebrated the outstanding achievements of our fellow graduates. It’s always a privilege to witness how King’s alumni continue to make a meaningful impact in their communities and professions.

Looking ahead, I have big hopes for the future of our Alumni Association. One of my goals is to create more opportunities for alumni to connect, in-person or virtually. Save the date for King’s Connector, an alumni cocktail reception in downtown Toronto, on May 7, 2025. The evening provides a great opportunity to come together as a community and make new connections. We also plan to host a trivia night in the new year, where we can share laughs while testing our knowledge. To help get everyone in the spirit, we’ve included some 70th-anniversary trivia questions on page 15. Test how well you know King’s history, and share your results with us!

In the spirit of staying connected, I also want to encourage all of you to take a moment to update your contact information. Whether you’ve moved or changed your email address, ensuring we have the most up-to-date information means you won’t miss out on future events, news, or opportunities to engage with your fellow alumni. Please follow us on our social media channels—Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter (@KUCAlumni) —where we regularly share updates, event announcements, and alumni stories. Additionally, don’t forget to follow King’s on LinkedIn and ensure that you have King’s listed under your education so we can continue building our network and making connections that benefit us all.

Finally, I’m proud to announce that the alumni magazine has officially gone green! By transitioning to an online format, we are not only reducing our environmental impact but also making it easier for you to access our stories and updates from anywhere in the world. Keep an eye on your inbox for new editions, and we hope you enjoy this issue.

I look forward to serving as your Alumni Association President and all the exciting things we will achieve together. Thank you for your continued support, and I hope to see you at one of our upcoming events soon. Until then, stay connected, stay engaged, and let’s make the most of this next chapter for King’s alumni.

Warm regards,

Amelia Holden, BSW '00, MSW '07 PresidentKing's University College Alumni Association
