For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil,
to give you a future and a hope. | Jeremiah 29:11

Dear Alumnus,
When Concordia College began in 1881 with 13 students, no one could imagine the plans God had for what has become Concordia University in 2018 and what it will be in the near future. We are thrilled to see construction begin for The Robert W. Plaster Free Enterprise Center, which will house the Batterman School of Business and the School of Health Professions' Child Language and Literacy Center. The rendering of the building above is the front of the east facing building. If you are in the area make sure to stop by campus to check out more of the building renderings and see the progress of our newest academic building, thanks to all our wonderful campaign donors. Please contact me to see how you can help with the "For A Greater Purpose" campaign.
There are so many ways for you to be involved, whether you are still in the metro Milwaukee area or anywhere else. Please review the information below to find ways you can join us or go to CUWConnect. As always, please let me know if you have ideas or suggestions on how we can better serve you and our students.
