Alumni Association

Dear Alumni Association Members,

As the liaison between the Alumni Association and Saint Francis Medical Center College of Nursing, I would like to take this opportunity to thank

If you are not a member of the Alumni Association or if your dues have relapsed, I would like to invite you as an alumnus to join your Alumni Association or renew your dues.

The Alumni Association has undergone changes secondary to Covid and other issues that have led us to be less active in recent years. However, we are moving forward once again and have plans to become stronger than ever. To accomplish this, active membership is critical.

The association is working very hard to establish events that will interest everyone, both socially and educationally. Any interests, suggestions or concerns are being addressed as they are communicated to us. We are listening to you.

Following the pandemic, we have been able to host our annual Homecoming event and this year brought back the “Night at the Winery.” We have also been successful in sending out a long awaited newsletter.

Our major barrier has been keeping our database of addresses updated. Sadly, some have been lost over time and in other instances, people have relocated and we don’t have a current address. Please make sure we have your current information and if you know someone who is not receiving our information, let them know to send us their update.

As an Alumni Association member, these are a few of the ways we count on your support:

• Provide information for our newsletter, The Pulse of Greenleaf. Everyone loves to read about professional successes, weddings, birth announcements, grandchildren and retirement plans.
• Provide events that reach out to our current students and future alumni (such as Cookie Day for Nurse’s Week)
• Attendance at our off-campus meetings every third Thursday of January, March, May, August and October at noon at a local restaurant.
• Attending Alumni events (Homecoming Brunch - this year 10.05.24), Night at the Winery
• Visit us on Facebook and interact with fellow graduates.

It is through your valued membership and support that we are growing and are able to offer more services to you, our members.

Respectfully,

Carlene Murali, Coordinator Alumni Relations
