IN O U R CO M M UNI T Y: ALUMNI LETTER FROM THE PRESIDENT STEWARD CONNECTS Dear Spartan Alumni, We’ve had a successful start to the 2018-19 academic year! In June, the Alumni Association Board held a summer happy hour for alums at Ardent Craft Ales in Scott’s Addition. It was so much fun to reconnect with old friends and meet new fellow alumni! At Convocation at the end of August, we proudly presented the fifth annual Alumni Achievement Award to Katie-Beth Kurilecz ‘06. Katie-Beth could not be with us at Convocation because she lives and works overseas, but she sent us an inspiring video message in lieu of accepting the award in person. She spoke about her work on behalf of refugees and her commitment to aiding international development, encouraging students to follow their hearts and to let that drive them to help others. In November, we had an amazing time at the third annual Trucks & Shucks Oyster Roast, despite the rain. We brought the party inside to Steward’s Multipurpose Gym and danced the night away! Shortly after Trucks & Shucks, alumni hit the town once again for a Thanksgiving Social at the brand new shuffleboard bar, Tang & Biscuit. And we’re looking forward to getting together once more on January 31 to celebrate our alumni honorees at the inaugural Fine Arts Hall of Fame induction ceremony and reception! I’m so happy to participate in these great experiences and continue to bond with my fellow Spartan alumni. Remember that we are always looking for more alumni to get involved.
