Last night the Rosen College Alumni Council met for our last meeting of the school year! 🌟🖤🌟🖤

This was a big year for us, and to say that we are proud of our accomplishments is an understatement!

We debuted a new event at 4Roots Farm, Knight On The Farm, and had an amazing turnout. We had a record breaking Day of Giving, raising the most funds for Rosen College to date. We hosted multiple Table Talk Mentorship Luncheons where our alumni had a chance to connect with current students. And to top it all off the newly renovated Rosen college Commons was opened just in time to celebrate our new partnership with Universal Destinations & Experiences!

We have also revitalized our social media channels on Instagram, Facebook, and LinkedIn! We greatly appreciate every follow, like, and repost to help promote our community. We loving being able to keep our Alumni connected, engaged, and motivated to share everything our amazing college is doing.

We are so thankful to our Alumni, staff, industry partners, and students for supporting our activities and sharing their love for our Rosen College. Whether you volunteer, donate, or simply share our posts, it all means so much to us!

Go Knights! 🖤💛🖤💛
