Dear Hendrix
Alumni –
Greetings from
the Hendrix Alumni Association Board of Governors (AABOG)! Hendrix alumni are
important to the school’s past, present, and future success. As a group, the
AABOG represents Hendrix Alumni and serves as the liaison between Alumni and
the College’s trustees, faculty, students, and administration. Along with Vice
Chair Ana Romero-Flores ‘20 and Secretary Ateca Foreman ‘04, I’m honored to
serve as your 2026-2027 AABOG Chair.
This upcoming
year is special. We will celebrate the Hendrix sesquicentennial – marking 150
years since Hendrix began providing a world class educational experience unto
the whole person. Save the date now for the College’s sesquicentennial celebration
launch during the weekend of October 9-11, 2026.
As for the
AABOG and our members, we’ll be busy. Our focus will be on engaging alumni to
support the College in three ways:
- 1)Building the Future – Helping Admissions recruit
the Class of 2031
- 2)Investing in the Present – Showing up for and
supporting current students
- 3)Celebrating the Past – Fostering fellowship
among Hendrix alumni
Through each of
these focus areas, we will fulfill our mission to enhance the visibility and
development of the College, create opportunities to for connections among
alumni, and provide opportunities for alumni service and education. In
addition, you’ll see us around at events like Hendrix Move-In Day, the Odyssey
Awards, family weekend, the Alumni Association Awards, homecoming, and
graduation!
Each of the 15,000+
members of the Hendrix College Alumni Association have been shaped in some
meaningful way by Hendrix College. As we celebrate Hendrix’s sesquicentennial,
I’d like to extend a warm invitation for you to get involved and help shape the
College’s next 150 years!
Yours in
Service,
