Legacy Families Celebrated


Be a Part of Homecoming and Reunion Festivities!

Homecoming and Reunion will have something for everyone, including virtu- al events and in-person activities. Visit the Homecoming website for details on Homecoming and Reunion events.


The Alumni Association celebrated its first cohort of graduating legacy students (above) at the May 6 Legacy Family Reception. Alumni Executive Board member Lisa Raye Hund ’94, ’94, ’98 delivered remarks at the event. Sandra Daws ’85, alumni executive board member at-large, and her daugh- ters, Hannah McMillan Dutton ’16, Leah McMillan ’18, ’20, and Kristen McMillan ’20, ’22, shared their legacy family story. Each student received a com-


memorative legacy token, and 55 legacy students walked across the Commencement stage on May 7.


Incoming freshman legacy students also were celebrated in June during Orientation at a special reception. Take a look at some of the fun photos (below) that our legacy students and their family members took to celebrate their legacy status
