NWACC looks to alumni for leadership; welcomes them back Saturday, Aug. 23
NWACC Alumni Association hosts kick-off event, an Alumni Association Welcome Back to NWACC Picnic, noon to 2 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 23.
BENTONVILLE (Monday, August 18, 2008) – In the 19 years since NorthWest Arkansas Community College has been open almost 44,000 people have taken college credit classes at the college. Some have taken only one class, some took pre-requisites for a four-year degree, and others graduated with an associate degree or certificate.
No matter their reason for attending they are alumni and NWACC administrators want to bring alumni back to campus to play a role in the future of the college, says Alumni Relations Coordinator Becky Hudson.
She says there are many opportunities at the college for alumni to reconnect and get involved. The NWACC Alumni Association will also be a way for alumni to network and reconnect to old friends.
“We are looking at our alumni mentoring current students, speaking to classes, serving on college committees, and volunteering during peak times at NWACC, just to name a few things,” Hudson said. “We are also working on a benefits package for members of the Alumni Association.”
Hudson spent the past year researching and visiting other alumni organizations to determine the best way to go forward with the NWACC Alumni Association.
“We began by mailing postcards to all our alumni, announcing the newly formed association and the kick off celebration,” she said.
The NWACC Alumni Association will host its kick-off event, an Alumni Association Welcome Back to NWACC Picnic noon to 2 p.m. Saturday, Aug. 23.
Food and drinks will be served and entertainment provided by the Kory Montgomery Band.
The event is open to all NWACC alumni and friends, and family.
“Bring your lawn chair or blanket and come out and join us,” Hudson said.
If you are alumni and you did not get a postcard or for more information contact Hudson at rhudson1@nwacc.edu or call 479-619-3103, or visit the website www.nwacc.edu/alumni
