We are proud of what our alumni do around the world. They lead in your communities. They create new ways to serve and meet needs. They take what they learned as a student and use it to make things better in their work, where they live and for the people closest to them. Every year we highlight some of the amazing things our alumni have done and honor them during homecoming week.
