All You Need to Know About the Westminster Alumni Council

Want to get more involved with your alma mater? Consider participating in The Westminster College Alumni Council – a great way to get involved, give back, and pay it forward for future and current students. Above, Alumni Council members Josh, ’06, and Jenna Harlow, ’06; Sara Hart Weir, ’04; and Liz Icenogle, ’05, (front row, first four on the left) celebrate Alumni Weekend 2014 with other alumni.

“With having 3 kids and 4 generations attend Westminster I developed a great sense of giving back to the school. I felt that a combination of my time and money was a way to continue the legacy of my family and the school itself,” says Frank Hunter, ’77, Vice President-General Manager Midwest Region for Curtis 1000. “I find personal satisfaction in helping the College and even one student become better. That is, to me, a real accomplishment.”
