Alumni President Greetings from Pat Edwards

Dear alumni,

I am thrilled to connect with you through this issue of our Newman University magazine. Fall is a season of reflection and renewal, providing the perfect opportunity to look back on our shared accomplishments and look ahead to new beginnings. Our alma mater holds a special place in our hearts, filled with memories of growth, learning and friendship. The bond we share through our time at the university is enduring, and it continues to unite us no matter where life has taken us.

This past year has been marked by incredible achievements and meaningful connections within our alumni community. We have successfully hosted a variety of events, bringing alumni together to rekindle old friendships and foster new professional relationships.

Our mentorship initiatives have flourished, with many alumni generously offering their time and expertise to guide current students. This support has been invaluable in helping the next generation navigate their careers. Additionally, your generous contributions have enabled us to provide scholarships to deserving students, ensuring that financial barriers do not hinder their educational pursuits.

As we embrace the new season, we remain committed to strengthening our alumni network and finding new ways to support our members. I encourage you to stay involved, whether by attending events, joining a committee or staying connected through our online platforms.

Thank you for your continued support and dedication. Together, we can ensure that the legacy of our alma mater lives on and continues to inspire future generations.

I hope to see you soon on campus or at an alumni event.
