September 2017
Welcome, Future Alumni!
Heading Here
Faculty, staff and members of the Alumni Board welcomed Iiff's new incoming residential class with a meal and #HeyIliff. Alumni, thank you for offering your words of wisdom and well wishes to the new students.

Top Chef Scholarship
Dr. Lindsay Longacre grills out.
The writings of Hebrew Bible professor Dr. Lindsay Longacre (pictured here at his home, on Iliff's faculty 1910-1942) was one of the primary sources for our New-Fangled Hybrid Community event held on September 13th. Students, faculty, staff, and alumni gathered on-campus and online to talk about our Core Values and then read a selection from Longacre's book on the prophet Amos together. As we read, we made notes on the webpage using a web tool called "hypothes.is."

Don't Forget!
You're invited to the Academic Dean's Open House,
Wednesday, September 20th from 11:45am-1:15pm in the Iliff Lobby.
Don't miss your opportunity to meet Dr. Boyung Lee --scholar, preacher, and baseball fan.

Golden Reunion event will open the Academic Year
You're also invited to join us at noon on October 11th for an event that will serve as a new kind of Opening Convocation for the school year. It's happening halfway through the quarter when many of our distance students will be with us for Gathering Days. Highlights include an academic ritual meal and academic procession with Golden Reunion alumni.​

At 1:30, join the Golden Reunion classes for a presentation in the library with Iliff librarian Dr. Micah Saxton on "Digitizing our Heritage"; he's excited to report about some new access he's creating that will allow us to read and view items from Iliff's historic legacy from anywhere in the world.

Looking Ahead:

#WhyIlliffiansGive
Heading Here
"I give because of my worldview. God is constantly giving. God is constantly sharing what is not my own and being gracious to me. So I think it is important to be gracious to others. Graciousness is in the DNA of the universe. I give because of what it means to exist in a world where everything is dependent on each other." 
Teri Shackelford Harroun (MDiv,'09)
Please, let us know the reasons you give to any person or cause or for any reason at all. Email cwarejoseph@iliff.edu or use #WhyIliffiansGive in a tweet to @iliffontheroad .
