In My Humble Opinion
Alumni, parents and friends shared their congratulations on Willamette’s 175th anniversary this year.
Willamette is a legacy for my family, as my father, Norman Hunter ’68, my brother, Nicholas Hunter ’00, and I are all graduates. My father has passed away now but after graduation went on to do many amazing things in this world, including working as a medical missionary. And to think so many of his dreams began where mine did — at Willamette University. Lindsay (Hunter) Rupe ’02
I congratulate Willamette University on its septaquintaquinquecentennial. Willamette is not only a leader in liberal arts, legal and business education, but also in adult continued learning. Peter Ronai
Happy 175th anniversary! Seems like the sesquicentennial was only yesterday — the last 25 years have gone quickly. Let’s celebrate well this year and enjoy every year to the bicentennial. Future first — and Not unto ourselves alone are we born. Liz Geiger Hartman ’80
An impressive milestone for our respected institution of higher learning. Proud to be a Bearcat! Jeff Swanson ’79
My experience at Willamette, academically and socially, set a life course that has proven satisfying for me and, I hope, of some value to the world around me. By the time I graduated, I had definitely become an adult who was able to succeed in the world. Thank you, Willamette! Dick Ludders ’67
Thank you for the wonderful education you are providing to our daughter, Anya Clowers ’18. We can see her growth in academic knowledge and we enjoy watching her participate in many activities. We very much appreciate the close, supportive environment that the entire Willamette community fosters. We could not be happier with her choice to attend WU.
