Welcome Alumni

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 17-20, 2020.

Sincerely,

Nikolai DiPippa '06
