Why I serve on the Alumni Board:

Erskine College provided me with a strong educational foundation, which afforded me opportunities I could not even imagine as a freshman. I choose to serve so that current students can experience similar opportunities. Time spent in Due West at Erskine College, either as a student or alumna, is a wise investment.

Why I give back to Erskine:

At Erskine College I was more than a number. Professors knew my name and cared about my education. This personal touch helped prepare me for success in my career as an attorney. I choose to give back to Erskine College because I am grateful for my education and experiences there, and I am hopeful about what the next generation of students may accomplish with our support.
