From Alumni Programs

Susan Lowe '95

College memories. As you peruse the pages of this issue, let your thoughts travel back to your days at Southwestern. Whether five years ago, 50 years ago, or somewhere in between or beyond, I hope your recollections bring a smile to your face and a warmth to your heart.

The schedule for Homecoming 2003 is now complete and it promises to be three great days of fun and activities. Probably the most frequent complaint we hear after reunion gatherings is, “I wish more of my classmates had been here.” Don’t miss out on this chance to come back and renew those college memories with the people who made them happen… you, and they, will be glad you did!

Please feel free to contact me at 800-846-1543, ext. 6334, at slowe@sckans.edu, or at 100 College St., Winfield, KS 67156-2499. See you Oct. 10, 11, and 12, in Winfield!
