Happy spring, Pio friends!

As chair of the Carroll University Alumni Council, I'm reaching out with two exciting opportunities to connect with your alma mater.

First, have you considered joining the Alumni Council? We're looking for passionate Pioneers to help shape the future of alumni engagement! The Council serves as a vital resource for the Carroll alumni community by supporting the university's mission and strategic direction.

Council members serve as ambassadors for Carroll, enhancing our visibility throughout the alumni community and beyond. We facilitate meaningful exchanges between alumni and the university, guided by our strategic plan for alumni engagement. Throughout the year, members participate in Council meetings, help select Distinguished Alumni Award recipients, and select Student Alumni Ambassadors who represent the next generation of Carroll graduates.

Council members work closely with the Office of Alumni Engagement to create meaningful connections that benefit the university and our alumni network. It's a rewarding way to give back—and honestly, it's a lot of fun, too! If you're interested in applying, please visit the Carroll website.

Second, please mark your calendars for April 24th for our Distinguished Alumni Awards dinner! Carroll University takes immense pride in our graduates who lead, serve and succeed around the world. We love following your journeys and celebrating your remarkable achievements.

The Alumni Council is proud to select recipients of the Distinguished Alumni Awards, which honor Carroll's most accomplished alumni for their professional success, societal contributions and dedicated service to our university.

President Cindy Gnadinger and the entire Alumni Council warmly invite you to join us as we recognize these outstanding members of our Pioneer family. It promises to be an inspiring evening celebrating the best of Carroll University – including recognition of our current Student Alumni Ambassadors. The event will also be live-streamed to engage alumni, friends and the greater Carroll community, as we pay tribute to our distinguished recipients.

Looking forward to connecting with you soon!
