Alumni Board Spotlight The Culver-Stockton Alumni Board has 17 members; and the PawPrint will feature a different board member each month.

Name: |
Carolyn (Hadsell) Peter |
 How did Culver-Stockton help you in your career?
The courses in Education were taught by well prepared faculty who cared about us. They helped us become better educators by giving attention to all aspects of our preparation.
What's a special memory you have of your time on campus?
Oh, must I tell? Seriously, Chi Omega and Olga Bays, my mentor and friend.
What do you enjoy about being on the alumni board?
This is an active board with specific goals and a mission statement. I believe our most important role is that of being spokesperson for our fellow alums and supporting the college in any way necessary. It's great to be able to give back to C-SC in these ways.
| If you or a C-SC alumnus/a you know is interested in serving on the board, please contact Gina Driscoll, alumni board president, at sgdriscoll@comcast.net for more information. | |
