A NOTE FROM EDINBORO’S DIRECTOR OF ALUMNI ENGAGEMENT

Dear Fighting Scots,

As we face the ongoing impact of the coronavirus pandemic, I continue to be inspired by the resiliency, compassion and collective strength of our alumni network. Your ability to face these challenges head-on has reinforced what it means to be a Fighting Scot.

To those serving on the front lines, I want to express my sincerest appreciation for the work you are doing. Your contributions to the health and safety of your communities are admirable. The creativity and dedication of our educators has never been more evident. And, to our business leaders, entrepreneurs, scientists and innovators—your ingenuity and grit will lead us to recovery. We are thankful to all who have sacrificed and to those who have reached out to help a fellow Fighting Scot in need. Thank you for reminding us that Royal Stewart tartan never fades. We are one Edinboro family and we take care of each other.

COVID-19 has cast a wide shadow. The necessary cancellation of all summer travel and University events was difficult. It’s hard to imagine a summer without the energy and excitement of reunions, concerts, sporting events and gatherings bring, but I find solace in knowing that this crisis will pass, and we will celebrate together again.

University leadership will continue to monitor the situation as it evolves, and the safety of our students, faculty, staff and alumni will remain at the forefront of every decision. In the meantime, please visit edinboro.edu/alumni or follow us on the Edinboro University Alumni Facebook page for information about upcoming virtual and fall events.

Even though we are physically apart, we will get through this together. Stay connected, be well and remain strong.

Sincerely,

Amanda Brown Sissem, BSW, MNM Director of Alumni Engagement

October 2–3

Homecoming.edinboro.edu

Put on your swankiest Boro attire and get ready to party like it’s 1920. We’re talking sequins, feathers, fringe, fedoras and all that jazz.

Although it’s hard to predict what the fall will bring, plans are moving forward for this annual celebration of our beloved University. Whether it’s held on campus or online, this soiree promises to be the bee’s knees.
