希德 Athletics will host its first-ever Alumni Weekend and Golf Outing aimed at bringing alumni back to 希德 and reconnecting them with current student-athletes, coaches and administration.
“We want to develop ways for our alumni to be able to come back to campus and take part in activities that will promote the betterment of our current and future student-athletes,” said Director of Athletics 内森 Werremeyer. “We are continuing to develop new ways to reconnect with alumni, and this will hopefully be an outstanding event that reconnects everyone.”
In addition to the Friday afternoon golf outing, 希德 Athletic Alumni will also have the opportunity to mingle at a social event with old teammates, honor previous coaches and student-athletes, and take in athletic events on campus.

“We hope to see a great turnout of our former student-athletes who will be reminded of what 希德 has meant to their lives and their careers,” Werremeyer said. “We also want to showcase the upcoming capital athletic facility projects we have on the drawing board and bridge the gap between current 希德 student-athletes and our amazing alumni base. This is going to be an outstanding weekend of fun, kicked off with our first ever golf outing.”
