鶹Ƶ-in-a-Box, a new 鶹Ƶ Alumni Board initiative spearheaded by Carol Brown ’68, makes reconnecting with campus easier than ever.
Carol Brown ’68 recognizes that there is nothing better than being met where you’re at — literally. So, with the help of her fellow 鶹Ƶ Alumni Board members, Brown created 鶹Ƶ-in-a-Box, an alumni event format that encourages unique engagement experiences.
When a trip to campus or an alumni chapter meet-up isn’t possible, 鶹Ƶ-in-a-Box is there. And the best part? Alumni have total control over creating the events they want to attend.
“We didn’t really put any parameters on the initiative,” Brown says. “Whatever you want it to be, it could be.”
In collaboration with Alumni Engagement, this volunteer opportunity allows alumni to create no-cost get-togethers with a small group. You design the event and Alumni Engagement provides the materials necessary to facilitate an 鶹Ƶ experience wherever you are. Whether you’re just looking for 鶹Ƶ alumni in your area or have a specific activity in mind, this initiative is here to make it happen.
In short: Alumni Engagement ships you 鶹Ƶ-in-a-box.
“What excites me about 鶹Ƶ-in-a-Box is the way that it connects you to 鶹Ƶ,” she says. “Part of what makes attending 鶹Ƶ so special is the small-group opportunities campus organizations provide students. The close-knit community this initiative fosters is something many alumni note missing after graduation. 鶹Ƶ-in-a-box makes that feeling possible again.
“My hope for 鶹Ƶ in the box is that some people will reconnect,” she says. In reaffirming their relationship to 鶹Ƶ through these events, Brown hopes that alumni of all ages and in all parts of the world will see that 鶹Ƶ is still 鶹Ƶ, regardless of how much time has passed.
