Students Attend Student Alumni Association Conference in Canada
Posted on Wednesday, February 27, 2008
Two Westminster College students and their adviser, representing Westminster's Student Alumni Association (SAA), attended the Association of Student Advancement Programs District II conference in North Bay, Ontario, Feb. 1-3.
Kelly Corbin, a senior public relations major, is a daughter of Luann Field of Bettendorf, Iowa, and Richard Corbin of Davenport, Iowa. She is a graduate of Bettendorf High School. Corbin is chair of SAA's alumni connections committee.
Eugene Cunningham, a senior business administration major, is a son of Lorri and Eugene Cunningham of Connellsville and a graduate of Connellsville Area High School.
Corbin and Cunningham presented "Speed Networking & Networking 101," with a focus on opportunities for building connections between students and alumni.
The students were accompanied by Mary James, Westminster College director of alumni relations and adviser to SAA.
"Kelly and Gene have been very involved in SAA and are good representatives of our association," James said. "This was a good opportunity for them to learn from other organizations and bring ideas back to Westminster."
The Westminster Student Alumni Association works to increase student awareness of the value of a lifelong connection with the College and to build connections between students and alumni. Each year the Association assists with Homecoming festivities; on- and off-campus alumni events; hosts student and alumni networking events, and campus Mardi Gras activities.
