A whirlwind of activity in Florida – three alumni events in three days

naples_groupTusculum College’s alumni in Florida were the focus of a trip earlier this month that featured three alumni events in three days.

The gatherings were as diverse as the alumni who attended – one was at an alumnus’ home, another found alumni gathering at a popular restaurant and a yet another group gathered aboard a yacht moored in a harbor. And at all the gatherings, alumni had the opportunity to meet and get to know the College’s new president, Dr. Nancy B. Moody. Susan D. Vance ’91, interim vice president of institutional advancement, helped provide an update of the latest happenings at Tusculum College.

The next alumni event was in Orlando, Fla., at Fleming Steak House, hosted by Dr. William Story ’72.
