Centering Alumni/ae Stories: How Graduates Can Illuminate Your Commitment to Mission

March 20, 2026

In November of 2024, over 500 people attended the two-day symposium made possible by a NetVUE Grant for Reframing the Institutional Saga. This presentation will highlight the process King’s College used to engage our entire campus community in telling previously untold stories, illuminating our commitment to mission and the values of our founding order, the Congregation of Holy Cross. We focused on our graduates and provided various ways for them to tell their own stories—in person (through keynote addresses and panels), in writing, and through a series of videos.
