Vision Statement
The Caldwell College Alumni Association is a dynamic organization dedicated to fostering opportunities, relationships and networks for all alumni that will allow them to cultivate an ongoing regard for each other, the College, and the values it represents. We do this in the spirit of thanks, pride and commitment.
Mission Statement
The Caldwell College Alumni Association stimulates academic and personal enrichment and provides social and financial opportunities for alumni and their families with the intention of creating an ongoing alumni presence on and off campus.
History
The Caldwell College Alumnae Association was established in 1943 (changed to Alumni Association in 1986 when the College became co-educational), and Betty Glenn Matuszak '43 served as the first president. The Association developed and displayed a tradition of service under the guidance and innovative thinking of Sister M. Joanna Tracy, O.P., who served as moderator for over thirty years. Echoes, the alumnae magazine, first appeared in September 1950 and chronicled the College's "success stories," as alumnae were called.
Membership
All graduates of Caldwell College are active members of the current Alumni Association. Alumni are eligible to serve on the Alumni
Association Executive Board and are entitled to vote in the election of officers for the Alumni Board.
Alumni may also serve on Alumni Board subcommittees that plan various events throughout the year, such as Homecoming, Tricky Tray, the Veritas Awards, and Young Alumni events.
