Alumni and Friends,
We rang in the holiday season at the 89th Annual Tree Lighting on Friday, Dec. 6! Attendees, both in person and via Facebook Live, enjoyed performances by the Winthrop RockHettes, and the Chorale and Collegiate Choir. The new lights on the flagpole are beautiful! If you missed the event, the live stream can be viewed on the Alumni Association’s Facebook page.
The Alumni Association hosted a Champagne Toast to the Class of 2024 December graduates on Wednesday, Dec. 11., at the Morgan-Holcombe Alumni Center at the Stewart House. Thirty-eight students attended and toured the alumni house; enjoyed light hors d'oeuvres; met staff from the Alumni Association, Career Development and Internships and Dacus Library; wrote a letter to their future self; and more! The class gift was presented to President Serna and he led the graduates in a champagne toast. Thank you to the 18 donors from the Class of 2024 December graduates who raised $617 to support future generations of Eagles! This gift combined with what the Class of 2024 May graduates raised totals $2,178! Thank you to the Class of 2024 for your generosity and support to Winthrop!
On Friday, Dec. 13, the Alumni Association hosted the Legacy Commencement Celebration for December Graduates at the Morgan-Holcombe Alumni Center at the Stewart House. Legacy families had photo opportunities, met the Alumni Executive Board, legacy students were presented with a commemorative legacy token to wear at Commencement and received a Winthrop alumni gift bag.
Congratulations to all the December graduates, and welcome to the Alumni Association! From our family to yours, wishing you a happy holiday season!
Winthrop Ever Stand,
Lori Tuttle
Executive Director of Alumni Relations and Reunion Giving
