Alumni

You're Always Welcome
Alumni Engagement’s mission is to connect alumni with each other, with W&L, and to provide interesting avenues for lifelong learning. While we can’t be together in person, we want you to have the latest highlights of our programming.
- Adhering to the University’s policies and protocols for campus visitors during the pandemic, we regret that all on-campus alumni events have been canceled through May 5, 2021. We are planning robust virtual offerings for many of these events.

Upcoming Events

Mar. 2 - Music in the Time of Covid
Tuesday, March 2 at 7 p.m. EST Teaching and performing music in a socially-distanced climate has been a challenge, but our music faculty and students have risen to meet it. Tune in to hear more about how instrumental and vocal performance has been reimagined and how you can catch upcoming live concerts! Greg Parker, Professor of Music and Music Department Chair will moderate a panel of Chris Dobbins, Assistant Professor of Music, Director of Instrumental Activities; Shane Lynch, Associate Professor of Music, Director of Choral Activities; Terry Vosbein, Professor of Music, Composition, Music Theory, University Jazz Ensemble; Caleb Peña ‘21; Carissa Petzold ‘21; Hyun Song ‘21 and Leslie Sparling ‘22.

Mar. 7 - Truth vs. Propaganda: Knowing the Difference and Why It Matters
Sunday, March 7 at 7 p.m. A recent Washington Post editorial claimed “America is in crisis; we can’t agree on what’s true and what’s false anymore. Some ‘news sites’ are not merely alternative, they cloak themselves in the mantle of news while peddling deception.” Helping us weigh this familiar assertion will be Brian Murchison, Charles S. Rowe Professor of Law and Director of the Roger Mudd Center for Ethics at W&L; Aly Colon, Knight Professor of Ethics in Journalism; and John X. Miller ’77, '80L, senior editor at The Undefeated at ESPN. An expert on the First Amendment, Murchison will explore the competing values of freedom of speech and truth-telling as foundations of American democracy; Colon will consider the ethical questions haunting advocacy journalism; and Miller, former visiting journalism professor at W&L, will offer insights from his long career pursuing the truth as a newspaper editor and reporter.

Mar. 10 - Going Beyond the Balance Sheet: Accounting at W&L
Wednesday, March 10 at 7 p.m. EST There is more to accounting at W&L than just debits and credits. Professors Jack Bovay ’79, Megan Hess ’97, and Colin Reid will take us beyond the ledger into tax policy and legislation, corporate governance, and corporate sustainability.
