Dear fellow
alumni,
I am very grateful for the opportunity to serve as the Chair of the Alumni
Association Board of Governors. It is inspiring and humbling to work with so
many great folks from different generations of the Hendrix alumni community.
We would love to see you on campus
for an event or a game or a performance. It’s exciting to see all
the new and wonderful things happening at Hendrix and the ways in which alumni
can remain a part of the Hendrix community. Whether making a contribution
to the Hendrix Annual Fund, volunteering your time, or even speaking fondly to
a prospective student and their family, the alumni are what make Hendrix
special and help the campus thrive.
If you are looking for ways to get involved, please let us know. If you are
missing chicken strips on Friday or fried shrimp on Sunday, make a trip
back. You can connect through the Office of Alumni and Constituent Engagement
by email at alumni@hendrix.edu.
You can also reach out to your classmates on the Alumni Association Board of
Governors listing below.
We look forward to seeing you during Alumni Weekend April 5-7, 2019.
Sincerely,
Martha Crofoot Bumpers ‘73
Chair, 2018-2019 Alumni Association Board of Governors
