Aquinas Landmark Spring 2021

Dear Aquinas Alumni and Friends, As we continue to navigate the challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic, the Aquinas community has risen to the occasion. Our students have excelled in the classroom, on stage, and on the field, court, and track. Our teachers have pivoted to design lessons that are engaging and multi-faceted. Our families have offered tremendous support and encouragement. Our alumni and friends have provided the financial and inspirational sustenance to guide Aquinas through this unique time in our lives. For 2021 our hope is to rekindle CONNECTIONS for our Aquinas family around the globe. We will continue to seek ways to connect with our students, faculty, staff, families, alumni, and friends. In March we hosted our first-ever Shamrock Week . This was a great first step in making those connections with the Aquinas family, and we were overwhelmed with the level of participation from so many of you. Thank you so much for helping us meet all of our goals for this week, which will now be an annual AQ tradition! During Shamrock Week we launched AQEvermore.com , an alumni and friends’ engagement platform. This website provides an exclusive online community for Aquinas alumni and friends to network and connect. If you have not done so already, please be sure to sign up and take advantage of this powerful online resource. In addition, our Office of Advancement will seek to develop relationships with alumni and friends throughout the country by way of Regional Alumni Ambassadors . The Regional Alumni Ambassadors will foster new relationships with those alumni around the country who are unable to make it back to 1127 Dewey Avenue. Please be on the lookout for emails from your Regional Alumni Ambassador, and I strongly encourage you to connect and share your AQ memories with others in your region! We look forward to finding ways that we can connect with you in 2021. Aquinas evermore! D . A C ‘ President p resident ’ s L etter 3
