Five Great Years
Since 2011, I have had the honor and pleasure of serving the Brenau alumni body as executive director. I have met thousands of amazing Brenau women and men who are doing extraordinary things all around the world. Each of you has shaped my life in wonderful ways, so it is with sadness that I announce […]
Strength in Numbers
“Strength does not come from physical capacity. It comes from an indomitable will.” – Mahatma Gandhi When H.J. Pearce penned the Brenau Ideal in the late 1800s, he closed with a poignant take on the power of human will, encouraging students to be “serenely confident of the limitless reaches of human endeavor.” Just as Gandhi identified true strength as a direct result of the […]
A Head Start to the Alumni Experience
Current students and future alumni are one and the same. Therefore, the Alumni Association Board and staff are putting a greater emphasis on getting to know Brenau students before they become alumni. By generating awareness about the alumni experience ahead of graduation, we create immediate connections back to the university for the young alumni population – […]
What does it mean to be engaged?
When you think of the word “engagement,” you might visualize a romantic proposal under the stars, a giddy “YES!,” and the resulting long-term commitment of devotion and love. While I don’t have the expectation that every alumnus regards Brenau as his or her soul mate (though I love that some of you do!), I do […]

Building the Future
Following the close of the 2013-2014 academic year, we bade adieu to the year-long celebration that marked Brenau’s 135th anniversary. It was a year of great milestones which culminated in the return of the Brenau Gala in March and the largest Alumnae Reunion Weekend attendance in recent memory. The sisters of Delta Delta Delta celebrated […]
This is a Year to Celebrate!
When I look back at the rich history of an institution like Brenau, I think of many things. Beautiful buildings, shiny statues and art-adorned walls make up part of the physical history of Brenau. Top honors, national recognitions and annual accreditations shape the academic history of the university. But above all, I see the faces […]
Mentoring: The Student-Alumni Connection
On May 4th and 5th, the Brenau alumni family welcomed new graduates into our fold. The class of 2013 is impressive. Each of these women and men exemplify the Brenau Ideal through their commitment to excellent education and dedication to the high standards of this institution. The majority of our Women’s College graduates are entering the workforce for the first […]
