Dear Concordia Alumna/us,
This time of year on campus is wonderful! Do you remember your first year at Concordia? The air is filled with intention, hope, and excitement as students fill the halls and our beautiful campus. The air starts to cool as the angle of the sun seems to shift in the sky. As we press forward to what lies ahead, we remember that all we do is for Christ's glory. All of our blessings are from Him. And so we thank Jesus for the blessing of our Concordia family -- students, faculty, staff, parents, donors, friends, and especially our alumni, who live out Concordia's mission in the Church and the world. We are grateful to you, for all that you give back and pay forward in your communities and to others, including our students.
May you have a wonderful and fruitful season as summer winds down and we prepare for fall. Blessings to you all.
