In December, staff from Harker’s Office of Alumni Relations, with the help of several parents of recent graduates, put together and sent care packages to the Class of 2009. It was the second time in as many years that the activity was organized.

In addition to providing alumni with a nice surprise during finals, the care package program also offers the parents of alumni the chance to reunite and catch up.

The care packages contained such items as the most recent edition of the student newspaper “The Winged Post,” a card from the alumni relations department containing information about upcoming events, messages from the faculty, snacks and assorted Harker-branded items such as pens and keychains.
