"Westminster is the place where a lot of us found "our people" - our friends, classmates, teammates, roommates, brothers/sisters, partners, mentors, etc., who have shaped our college experience, our characters and our goals. It is very helpful to the College (as well as those folks trying to reach you from your college days) to have accurate contact information throughout your life. After all, the longest relationship you have with Westminster is your alumni relationship!

"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.
