Director's Corner

As I write, the quiet calm of Study Day belies the tremendous undercurrent of energy pulsing through the Hilltop. Do you remember? Preparing for finals, thrilled that the semester is — at long last — nearing its end. Anxiously awaiting news about that perfect summer job. Eager to get home to your own bed and Mom’s cooking, but sad to leave your friends and the comfort of this new home and your Bradley family.

But this year, this semester, is different. To be sure, freshmen will become sophomores, and another class will graduate and make their way into the world. No, the difference is that the end of this semester marks not the end of the year so much as it marks the beginning of a great new era on the Hilltop. The Campaign for a Bradley Renaissance will transform our alma mater.

And amid all the incredible progress, enhanced learning environments, and advanced technologies, will stand a “beacon bright” that draws us home. Our new Alumni Center will safeguard and showcase our history, boast of our achievements, wrap us in support, and always welcome us home. From the library of faculty and alumni publications and centralized alumni resources to the Hall of Pride and the grand ballroom overlooking the new Alumni Quad, your alumni center will be the place to go for information, events, and making new memories with old Bradley friends.

This Renaissance can’t — and won’t — happen without the support of each and every one of us. The payback? Increased value of our degrees, pride in knowing we’ve built an institution worthy of our own children and grandchildren, and the comfort of knowing that we will always have a home on the Hilltop.
Hail Red & White!
