A blog by Karen Johnson, Ph.D., Vice President of University Relations
Today's guest blog comes from Abena Patton, Manager of Special Events and Web Communications. A fitness enthusiast, and someone who cares about helping others, Abena has helped to organize the kick-off of this charity race on campus for several years. Both she--and MWU--are proud to be affiliated with this meaningful and important event.
The Glendale Campus was very busy this July hosting several events for our alumni: the annual Diamondbacks vs Cubs baseball game at Chase Field and the AZCOM Dinner with the Dean at the Wrigley Mansion.
MWU is pleased to announce the appointment of Barbara Wysocki, as the Director of Development & Alumni Relations at the Downers Grove Campus. We are also excited to welcome Karen Ewing, as the Manager of Alumni Relations on the Glendale Campus.
MWU was pleased to have a visible presence at the recent meeting of the National Association of Advisors to the Health Professions, which was held in Chicago last week. Admissions staff from both our Downers Grove and Glendale Campuses attended sessions and participated in the "Meet the Deans" event.
Last week, the Downers Grove Campus hosted its annual Midwestern University Golf Classic. On a picture perfect day, more than 80 golfers swung into action at Arrowhead Country Club in Wheaton to raise funds for student scholarships. This event is one of many ways that MWU engages its alumni, business partners, and corporate sponsors to show their support of our students.
