I would like to introduce myself; I am Peter Cohen, a member of the Lindenwood University Alumni Board. I am currently serving as your Second Vice President for the Alumni Association Board. It’s been a blast to see the boom of buildings and success of the University in the twelve years since I attended Lindenwood for my MBA. I’ve always enjoyed college life; to this day I enjoy the hustle and bustle of the campus, and the interchanges with the students and professors. Not only have I seen several on-campus beautification projects right before my eyes, but we have a world class performing arts center and plans are now underway to make LU’s business school a prominent leader in the community.
I have been fortunate to participate in several Lindenwood projects; the Business Advisory Board, redesign of the Lindenwood website, Alumni Picnic, Homecoming and Reunions, football games, and one of my favorite events, the Business Etiquette Dinner where I get to sit and visit with a table of soon-to-be graduates talking about their plans as we learn which fork to use. It has been a great privilege to be a part of these events and in helping to encourage other alums to become active at LU.
As I look out of my window during this hot, summery day just on the heels of another successful Alumni & Friends Picnic, it’s easy to drift off to a cooler, less humid, fall Homecoming. This year our Homecoming and Reunion Weekend is October 15 – 16, 2010. This year’s student theme is a jungle theme “It’s Great to be King”. We will be honoring the classes of ‘50, ’60, ’70, ’80, ’85, ’90, ’95, ‘00 and ’05. There will be an Alumni and Friends reception on Friday, the Homecoming Parade and President’s Breakfast on Saturday morning, and a FREE Alumni, Student and Parents BBQ with pre-game festivities. The finale is the football game where our Lindenwood Lions will tame those Culver-Stockton College Wildcats. We encourage you to visit our Homecoming & Reunion website today.
We also encourage you to stay in touch with the Alumni Office, and for Business School alums, there’s a new LinkedIn Group for the Lindenwood School of Business & Entrepreneurship. If you are alumni of SB&E please join the group by clicking here.
Lindenwood has indeed morphed into a world class institution, and we invite you to come visit our beautiful campus for the Homecoming & Reunion weekend on October 15-16. I’m very proud of my alma mater and look forward to celebrating its many successes in the future, won’t you join me?
Sincerely,
Peter Cohen, Jr. (’98)
Second Vice President
Lindenwood Alumni Association
