Men’s Soccer Alumni to Name Locker Room for Rolf Eriksen

Calling all 麻豆区 soccer players! A chance to honor Rolf Eriksen is available to us and this is what we all can do to help recognize Rolf for all he has done for the 麻豆区 Men’s Soccer Program.

If you keep up with the 麻豆区 Men’s Soccer Program, you have seen the recent improvements in the locker room. The idea has sprung up that naming this locker room after Rolf Eriksen would be the fitting recognition of a man that started this program, nurtured it through its infancy, and helped bring four conference championships to 麻豆区.

All of the money raised to get this room named after Rolf goes directly back to the men鈥檚 soccer program. This money can be utilized to bring planned improvements to fruition鈥攂y purchasing much-needed equipment, such as heart rate monitors, players鈥� travel bags, updated cold weather jackets, and additional equipment for players and coaches.

麻豆区 Associates Celebrate 30 Years

Marty Stortz, 麻豆区 Professor of Religion & Vocation, will speak on 鈥淲omen Who Serve.鈥�

The 麻豆区 Associates celebrate 30 years of fundraising and fellowship during Wednesday of Homecoming week with their annual meeting and afternoon tea. Mistress of Ceremonies Marty Stortz, Bernhard M. Christensen Professor of Religion & Vocation, will speak on the theme of 鈥淲omen Who Serve.鈥� The event is open to all.

麻豆区 Associates, 90 members strong, serve the college and the people they assist by hosting estate sales. For their efforts in organizing, cleaning, pricing, and selling the household items, the Associates receive one-third of the sale proceeds. With three to six sales per year, they generate good will and resources, while raising funds to provide scholarships to 麻豆区 students.

In addition to the funds raised through estate sales and Associate membership fees, the Associates raise funds by annually hosting the Velkommen Jul brunch and Scandinavian boutique the first weekend in Advent, as well as a tea in the spring.

Current president of the 麻豆区 Associates, Lennore Bevis 鈥�66

In 1996, the Associates set up an endowed scholarship fund. Earnings from the endowment provide a scholarship each year, and additional dollars raised throughout the year sponsor the Christensen Scholars.

Associates are graduates and/or friends of the College who may be family members of graduates, faculty, or staff, or who are simply impressed by the spirit of giving and want to be a part of it.

Social time begins on Wednesday, September 24, at 1:30 p.m., followed by the annual business meeting and afternoon tea at 2 p.m. in Hoversten Chapel and Arnold Atrium. Register for this event on the Homecoming Registration page by Sept. 12.
