An update letter from Alumni Association president Kristel Bulthuis about Dr. Graham's inauguration, and award and council nominations.

Spring is just around the corner. After a cold, snowy winter here in Ontario, I’m ready for warmer weather, green grass and sunshine!

We have an exciting spring coming up, with the inauguration of Dr. Graham happening on March 1st at Redeemer, as well as welcoming a brand new crop of fresh alumni to our association on May 25th. It is such a privilege for me to welcome them at convocation each year.

We are currently holding nominations for our annual Distinguished Alumni Award. Do you know an alumnus who is making a difference in their community? We’d love to get to know them better through our nomination form.

This year, we are also looking for nominations for two spots on the Alumni Council. This is a great opportunity to give of your time to Redeemer through meetings and events. We’d love to have you join us!

As always, please keep in touch with us, share your stories with us, and continue to share God’s light with those around you.
