Faculty and Staff - October 24, 2024

Dear Winthrop Community:

I am excited to share with you the fall edition of the Winthrop Magazine. In these pages you’ll read about our first 12 initiatives that we’re undertaking as part of our strategic plan, Winthrop: United in Excellence, and there’s also an in-depth profile on the history and transformation of the Morgan-Holcombe Alumni Center at the Stewart House. If you haven’t had the opportunity to drop by the new alumni center, I hope you’ll make plans to do so soon.

I also want to encourage you to read about other interesting features in this edition, including:

• The 50^th anniversary of coeducation;
• Compelling profiles on David ’97 and Courtney Peek ’99, former student-athletes who instilled a love for Winthrop in their children, and Kelly Turney ’08, head athletic trainer with the Orlando Pride professional women’s soccer team; and
• The latest campus happenings, alumni news and university advancement updates.

As always, thank you for your support and continued loyalty as we work together to ensure a bright future for this place that we love. I hope to see you at one or more Homecoming and Reunion events!

Always an Eagle,

Edward A. Serna ’02
President
