Message From the Alumni PresidentDear Fellow Alumni:I had the pleasure of welcoming 331 new alumni to the Methodist College Alumni Association in2005, bringing the total membership to 8,800. We have grown not only in numbers, but also in theways in which we interact with and support our alma mater.When Methodist College broke ground on a much-needed new Science Building addition andFitness and Wellness Center in fall 2005, it was with the help of hundreds of MC alumni who literally“answered the call” during the phonation held in August. With your assistance, the College was able to meet the KresgeFoundation $550,000 challenge grant. Altogether, the Seeds on Good Soil, A New Season campaign, which began fouryears ago, exceeded the $14 million mark in 2005.Alumni supported Methodist College in many ways, not just with financial contributions.Many used their Greatest Gift Scholarship to recruit and refer several hundred goodstudents to our alma mater. Others served on campus boards; assisted students,professors or coaches; or participated in our alumni survey.You too can become involved in the MC Alumni Association Board and its programs!Come back to campus for Homecoming 2006 and the 50th Anniversary celebrationduring the week of Nov. 1-4, 2006. Attend athletic events and enjoy musical and culturalperformances at Methodist. Contact Career Services about employment or internshipopportunities available for our wonderful students, or speak to a class about your area ofexpertise.You can also keep up with the accomplishments of students and faculty and find outmore about the happenings on campus by logging on to the College’s website atwww.methodist.edu. To subscribe to our alumni e-newsletter, go tohttp://www.methodist.edu/Alum_dev/enews.shtml. What a great way to stay in the know!Each time I stand in front of a graduating class and welcome them into the MC AlumniAssociation, I again experience that same awe-inspiring sense of accomplishment thatI am sure each of us felt on our graduation day. I think we can all be re-inspired as wethink back to our graduation day, and as we then look on the many achievements of ourclassmates, peers and the whole Methodist College campus and community today.Looking to the future, we have an enthusiastic Alumni Association Board that is opento your ideas about how best to serve MC alumni. We look forward to promoting thecontinued growth and progress of Methodist College!The Greatest GiftScholarshipEvery year, alumni assist in recruitingnew students by offering the GreatestGift Scholarship.
