4 New Year's Resolutions for Alumni


1. Make sure your contact information is up to date. If you didn't receive the last issue of the Bridge or have moved since then, your contact information is out of date. We'll be sending out some neat communications this year and want to make sure you receive them. Update your information here

2. Connect with Finlandia on social media and share your updates. We want to know what's going on with you. Students want to know what's going on with you. So connect with us on LinkedIn or Facebook and share what's going on with you.

Pro Tip: Kill two birds with one stone and provide and update on what you're doing while updating your contact information by adding yourself to the Alumni Directory Map.

3. Commit to supporting at least one student. Support comes in a number of different forms: whether that's by donating, volunteering, attending campus events, or connecting with a student on LinkedIn and offering advice, every little bit helps.

4. Attend Homecoming 2019 on October 3-5. Be there or be square. You can also be there and be square if that's your jam.

LEADING THE PRIDE

Check out the newest episode of Leading the Pride, which features Clem Papineau, a Cold Case Homicide Detective for the Little Rock Police Department. Clem's story is unique in that he transferred out of Suomi College in 1976 and went on to do amazing things in the military and law enforcement sphere. He's retired twice now and is still working full-time, just launched his own YouTube channel, and plans on pursuing a PhD in Archeaology. He's basically a real-life Indiana Jones.

We released Part 1 on Tuesday and we're technically supposed to wait until next week to release Part 2, but we'll make an exception for you.
