Hello, former Harker faculty and staff,
We will be honoring our momentous 125th anniversary in lots of ways this school year, and we look forward to celebrating with all of you. Below you can learn about all things 125, including celebrations, dates to remember, stories, videos and more. We hope this celebration is an opportunity for you to engage with the school in a new way, or perhaps reconnect after some time away.
You might have missed the information in our last email about the Harry’s Hofbrau gathering on Saturday night, so here are the details on that!
Sat., Oct. 6 will be a special get-together at Harry’s Hofbrau (just like the good old days) for former faculty and staff. Join us from 6-8 p.m. for cold beverages and munchies!
Your dedicated work at Harker and for the students has been an important reason for the success the school has achieved over the past 125 years! We’d love to see you at any or all of these events below. We don’t have contact info for all former faculty and staff, so feel free to pass this along to any you know. RSVP or send questions to communications@harker.org.
Can’t join us but you would like to reconnect with Harker? If you would like to receive email updates on important events and news, let us know that, too. And whether or not you can come back to campus, we would love to get an update and pictures of you to share during the celebration.
Hope to see you soon!
Pam Dickinson, Office of Communication Director
Cindy Kerr-Ellis, Community Liaison
