A Letter from the Alumni Board President






Dear Collegiate Alumni,
It has been an honor and pleasure to serve as the WCS Alumni Board president in the last year.  Serving on the board has been something I have enjoyed tremendously and we are lucky to have such a talented and giving board that continues to serve our Collegiate community.  The Alumni Board had a very busy year, here are some of the highlights:
-          We hosted the annual Alumni BBQ in October.  It was another cold day, but it was an overall success.
-          Our 15th annual golf tournament at Crestview County Club was delayed one week due to weather but it ended up being a great day with beautiful weather!
-          We continued the tradition of sending care packages to our college freshmen before their mid-terms.
-          We held our 26th Annual Mentor Program at Wichita Country Club.  We had the pleasure of hearing from both Deanna Dahkil Ternes 96’ and Amar Shah 02’. 
-          At graduation, we presented the Randy Storms Alumni Service Award to Jed Bond 96’, a very deserving candidate. 
-          As a board and an alumni community we were able to raise a record $113,577 for the Alumni Endowment Fund!  We will certainly hit an endowment balance of 1 million dollars next year!  The Alumni Endowment fund helps sustain the tuition assistance program and provides help for many students to continue to attend Collegiate.
I want to thank the Alumni Board and the community for all of the help and generous donations we have received this year.  Collegiate is a very special place to my family and I am excited to see what the future brings.
Sincerely,


Adam Kennedy 00’
