Alumni Association: Year in Review
Launched last fall, the Prep for Prep Alumni Association is off to an impressive start. The eleven members of the Association’s leadership team and its three committees – Community Engagement, Personal & Professional Development, and Fundraising – worked with Prep’s Trustees, staff, and alumni to survey alumni needs and expand or implement several new initiatives.
Here are a few highlights from the Prep for Prep Alumni Association's inaugural year:
