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’
