"I love to invest! Whether it is financial or personal, I love investing in Westminster College. I love investing my time with alumni, the current students, employees and faculty to gain insight on what is going on in and around campus.  I learn of needs of the students and faculty. From the knowledge that I gain with that investment, I then love to make a financial investment and commitment to Westminster College. That investment helps in many ways, whether the investment goes toward scholarship funds, athletics, music or other fundraising activities that may be going on at the time. I want to see the current students continue to blossom into successful young adults in the work force. That investment can be made in many ways from an online donation to stock donation to cash donations.

"As a member of the Alumni Council, I have been able to participate in a couple of Westminster career-focused events for current students. What struck me both times was just how thoughtful and workforce-ready these students are. Compared to where my mind was at their age, they are ready to hit the ground running - they just need opportunities - and that is how we as alumni can have a real impact. Become a mentor, volunteer for networking and career events, or even hire Westminster students for internships jobs if you are able. Let us, the alumni, be their connection to the world and their future."
