An update letter from Alumni Association president Kristel Bulthuis about the Redeemer Alumni Mentoring Program, the 10/20/30 Reunion and other news.

The fall is an exciting and busy time for Alumni. This past week, we had two RAMP events: business and psychology. Thank you to all the alumni that participated in these events. We are grateful for these alumni as they help to prepare our current students for their future careers, and give them an opportunity to connect with alumni in their field. In the winter semester, we will be having two RAMP events for english and theatre/music. If you graduated in one of these fields and would like to participate, let us know!

We have our Distinguished Alumni Award Reception on October 4th. We are looking forward to celebrating Dr. Dan Reilly at the C Hotel in Hamilton. If you would like to join us, please reach out and let us know.

Also, our 10/20/30 Reunion is rapidly approaching on November 9th. If you graduated in the class of 2008, 1998 or 1988,  you should have received your invitations in the mail already. This will be a great chance to connect with friends and faculty that you may not have seen in 10, 20 or 30 years! We look forward to celebrating with you and seeing where The Lord has taken you since graduating from Redeemer!

As always, if you have moved, gotten married, had a baby, or gotten a new job we would love to celebrate with you. Please reach out and let us know! We can be contacted at alumni@redeemer.ca or you can fill out the alumni update form.
