Alum Notes Wanted: Send well-wishes to incoming Generals
Dear Fellow Alumni:
As we return from a post-Covid 19 year of separation and anxiety, we are asking for your support. Please help us fill our bulletin boards throughout the campus with warm words of welcome, encouragement, and your own positive memories that will be displayed for all freshmen and returning students at Herkimer College!
It would be great if you could send a card, postcard, note, or letter with your words of encouragement/advice/positive memories to new and returning students, or share a treasured memory of your HCCC experience -- we remember what it was like to be starting a new year on campus!
It only takes a few minutes to make a lasting impact on them.
Feel free to reflect on any of the following:
- What year did you graduate and what was your major?
- Were you an athlete?
- Were you in clubs?
- Who was your favorite teacher?
- Were you a dorm resident or a commuter?
- Are you still in touch with your fellow classmates?
Reach out so they can reach up!
Additional themes to get you started:
- "This is where your life begins!"
- The benefits of choosing Herkimer College
- Students are our future
- There is a wealth of support available from peers, staff, and faculty
- With great challenge comes great opportunity
- The importance of remaining connected
- The importance of safety
- Opportunities to develop leadership skills
- Finding one's path
- Developing a routine and the importance of self-care
- Communication
- Making new friends and having fun on campus
Please mail your Alum Notes of support and cheer by August 27 to:
Rebecca Ruffing, Director of Public Relations
Herkimer College
100 Reservoir Rd.
Herkimer, N.Y. 13350
