Director's Corner
It’s no surprise that Bradley alumni are passionately committed to the success of our institution. Graduates frequently ask how they can help, and the BUAA has identified a variety of ways for you to contribute to our alma mater’s bright future. Most importantly, many of these activities will directly benefit current students and young alumni. From the newly launched Young Alumni University to Dinner for Ten or the alumni-facilitated EHS 120 class, “Bradley History & Traditions,” this comprehensive student engagement plan was created by alumni — for the benefit of future alumni. These efforts rely on alumni volunteers for their success, and I personally invite you to be a part of this exciting new movement. Can you (or your employer) share expertise about buying a first home or investing for the future? Would you host a dinner for eight current students to help them build their networking skills? Could you facilitate an inspiring discussion about Lydia Moss Bradley and the University’s history to a freshman class? Perhaps you can deliver Bradley materials to your local high school counselors. Help us build a stronger alumni association — one that keeps its eye on the future by reaching back to ensure the success of our current students and young alumni. Contact the alumni office (309-677-2240 or 1-800-952-8258) to find out how! LORI WINTERS FAN ’80
