HYBRID is the Word for 2021 Events with Terrific Response!
As the world begins to “open back up” after the Pandemic, E&H alumni events have been aimed at providing content for alumni who feel more comfortable participating from home and alumni who are itching to get back together on campus. “Response to both formats has been terrific,” said Monica Hoel, alumni director. “We are grateful!” Keep an eye on www.ehc.edu/alumni for upcoming online and in-person events.
