Dear Alumni, Friends and Supporters, Welcome to the inaugural edition of Bryn Athyn College Alumni Magazine. The College is in a “moving forward phase” with the addition of new fields of study, expanding enrollment and construction of new facilities while diligently building on the spiritual purpose of our New Church mission. We recognize the need to enhance our communications and interaction capabilities in order to better inform our community. We strive to strengthen our relationship with you, and as important members of our community we value your feedback; please feel free to email us with your comments at [email protected]. You are also encouraged to visit the Bryn Athyn College website at www.brynathyn.edu for additional information about the College. We wish you the very best in this coming new year.
