A WELCOME TO OUR NEWEST ALUMNI
Juliette Olejnik Director of Alumni Relations & Annual FundKIT A WELCOME TO OUR NEWEST ALUMNI Hello, Class of 2021!
As the Alumni Director, it is my honor to welcome you into the Roeper ALUMNI community!
What a fantastic class I just love seeing you all here and thinking back to the first time I met many of you on that snowy 9th grade trip to Washington, DC, three years ago, although I can hardly believe that it’s already been three years
I’d like to congratulate you for completing your Roeper journey You are now joining nearly 2,500 alumni who have come before you and have thrived in their post-Roeper lives I know it’s exciting and maybe a bit scary for some of you, but you’re going to be fine Actually, you’re going to be better than fine because you’re not setting out alone You still have all of us here to lean on, and you also have a dedicated, ready and and willing community of alumni who are also eager to help you It is not uncommon for Roeper alumni to help each other to make important connections, many of which have led them to where they are today
Roeper alumni can be found in nearly every state and in many parts of the world So keep in mind that wherever you’re headed, there is sure to be another Roeperian nearby As alumni you will have access to Roeper’s online alumni directory, and I encourage you to use it And don’t ever forget, you also have each other and the lifelong friendships you’ve made here
Please know that all of us at Roeper want keep in touch with you We invite you to come back and visit, and to let us celebrate milestones with you because you are, and always will be, a part of the Roeper family And I promise to do my best as the Alumni Director to help keep you connected to the school
As is tradition, the Alumni Office has included a small gift in the bags you are receiving today A mug listing all of your classmates as well as a Roeper-branded laundry bag to remind you of us … and to remind you to do your laundry while you’re away
Thank you for inviting me to join you in tonight’s celebration I look forward to staying in touch and wish each of you the very best
