ALUMNIANDFRIENDSCORNER A L U M N I A S S O C I AT I O N
Dear Alumni,
As we prepare to welcome our newest members of the McMurry Alumni Association, the class of 2016, we look back with great pride at all they have accomplished. Classroom stand outs, researchers, scholar athletes, movers and shakers – we can’t wait to see what they’ll accomplish as alumni! Our alumni make outstanding contributions to their professions and communities in so many ways. Part of the work of the Alumni Association Board of Directors is to recognize those contributions through our annual alumni awards. Four award categories are given each year, the Distinguished Alumni Award, Spirit of McMurry Award, Cross & Flame Award and Heartbeat of Campus Award. To read more about these awards and nominate worthy alumni and friends, please visit connect. mcm.edu/alumni-awards. I hope you have noticed increased
alumni events regionally over the past few months. We were very excited to do events in Grapevine, Houston, Abilene, San Antonio and look forward to events coming up in Lubbock, Amarillo and Austin this summer. We also just finished participating in our second McMurry Serves event. Check out the web page for photos and info on how to get a project started in your area for next year! Finally, I want to invite you all back to campus this fall for Homecoming 2016! The weekend of October 6-8 will be an exciting time for all participating and I can’t wait to see you all there – Ala Cumba!
