Office Receives Award for Success of First-Ever Senior Soiree
A new event created by
the Rose-Hulman Office of Alumni Affairs to salute graduating seniors
has received an award from an international organization of
professionals who advance educational institutions.
The Senior Soiree, a
reception for seniors and their parents conducted the evening before
commencement, was attended by nearly 800 guests last May. The Soiree
took place under a large tent near the Flame of the Millennium sculpture
on the front campus lawn.
The event was honored
during the Pride of CASE 5 competition sponsored by District Five of the
Council for the Advancement and Support of Education.
District Five includes
colleges and universities in Minnesota, Wisconsin, Illinois, Indiana,
Michigan, and Ohio.
The special event
received a bronze award in the Excellence in Special Events Category for
an individual event. The award was announced at the District Five
annual conference in Chicago which was attended by 1,100 professionals
who work in the areas of alumni affairs, development, and public
relations. |
