Making lemonade

Portrait of Joni Claypool '06, director of constituent engagementThey say when life gives you lemons, make lemonade. That’s exactly what Linfield’s alumni programs did this year. Even though we were unable to gather in large groups, we connected in new ways, with new people. From Stay-at-Homecoming to “Pubs and Profs” and our new online book club, nearly 1,200 alumni from around the world attended Linfield’s virtual programs. This included alumni from Spain, Malaysia, Japan and Belgium, who were able come back to campus by simply clicking “join a meeting.” While we hope to see you in person soon, watch your inboxes for continued virtual and hybrid events coming this fall. From home or from campus – life is sweet when we gather as Wildcats.
