2020 Clarke Alumni Homecoming Update
Dear Clarke University Alumni,
The health and safety of our university community are of utmost importance to us. Therefore, in an abundance of caution, and taking many variables into consideration, we have made the decision with the support of the Clarke Alumni Association Board to cancel in-person alumni Homecoming events scheduled for October 2-4, 2020.
The heart of Homecoming weekend is to draw people together and celebrate their collective connections to Clarke, and unfortunately, under the present circumstances, we do not feel it is possible to gather together in a meaningful and memorable way.
As of today, the in-person alumni Homecoming events that are canceled are:
- Friday dinner for the Golden 50th Anniversary Class and all Golden Plus Classes
- Friday American Lady River Cruise on the Mississippi River
- Saturday Alumni Recognition Brunch
- Saturday Tailgate Party sponsored by the Alumni Office
We are currently developing a modified schedule of virtual events in an effort to make Homecoming 2020 as special as possible. We ask you to check our website regularly at www.clarke.edu/homecoming and look for updates on our social media sites. Please also know that we look forward to welcoming all of our 2020 reunion classes back to campus in 2021.
If you have any questions regarding Homecoming weekend, please call 563-588-6553 or email alumnirelations@clarke.edu.
Sincerely,
Thom D. Chesney, Ph.D.
President
