Arizona Meet and Greet was a Success!
Over 70 friends and alumni gathered at Superstition Springs Golf Club in Mesa on February 18. Kim Nelson, Executive Director, and Jane Vagnsness Frisch, Vice President of Student Affairs and Strategy, hosted the luncheon, which included a College update. Reconnecting with alumni is always fun, but even more so when it's sunny and warm!
Scholarship Luncheons Held
Each year, the Foundation hosts scholarship luncheons to bring students and donors together. The first luncheon was held October 27, and the second one was December 1. Approximately 265 students and donors were present at the two events. The luncheons are a wonderful time for students to meet the individuals and businesses behind the scholarships they receive.
