Hello, Hendrix Alumni!
I don’t know about you, but ever since I graduated, I have enjoyed and relied on a vast network of Hendrix friends, faculty, and members of the Hendrix community. These connections and lasting friendships are deeply meaningful.
The alumni board would love for the approximately 15,000 Hendrix Alumni to stay connected with all things Hendrix- upcoming events, sports, Alumni Weekend, alumni news, and anything else connected to the college. The Office of Alumni and Constituent Engagement encourage you to continue your connection to Hendrix:
- Like the Alumni & Friends Facebook page.
- Check out the LinkedIn Hendrix College Alumni Association page.
- Follow @HendrixAlumni on Instagram.
- Sign up for the monthly Hendrix Alumni E-newsletter by updating your contact information with the Office of Alumni and Constituent Engagement.
- Follow Hendrix on TikTok!
- Visit campus whenever you can! In September of 2024, the Alumni Office moved to the Dawkins Welcome Center.
We hope to see you connect with Hendrix very soon so our beloved alma mater will continue to enrich your life.
Sincerely,
Sue Gattinger Farris ’80
Chair, 2024-2025 Hendrix College Alumni Association Board of Governors
