Greetings from your Alma Mater!

Many new and exciting things are happening on campus and with our alumni.  Classes are now being held in the newly constructed Research and Economic Development Center (REDC) now the largest building on the campus.  The REDC houses the School of Engineering and Engineering Technology and the Sam & Irene Black School of Business. Also, since its completion, three freshmen classes have lived in Senat Hall which provides state-of-the-art residence space in the center of campus and a mentoring program for first-year students.

My name is Rebecca Grimaldi ('87) and I am glad to serve as the Director of Alumni Relations.

The alumni listserv has grown to over 7,500 alumni subscribers. The annual alumni reunion continues to bring back alumni who haven't seen the campus since graduation. The alumni board has continued to add much needed value to the alumni outreach efforts. The society hosts events throughout the year for alumni and their families to connect with each other. 

To help you better understand how I can help you, I've listed my responsibilities to the alumni below.

My responsibilities include the following:

  • Lead the Office of Alumni Relations, located in the Logan House (at right)Logan House
  • Build and cultivate relationships with Behrend's over 22,500 alumni
  • Make regional visits to meet with alumni
  • Involve alumni in the life of the college
  • Support and advise the Behrend Alumni Society Board
  • Advise the Lion Ambassadors
  • Develop the Senior Class Gift projects
  • Share alumni news and information via our Web site, listserv and the Behrend Magazine
  • Manage the Alumni Relations website

You can reach me via phone or e-mail. If you feel that there is a strong interest in visiting your home area, let me know. I'd be happy to consider a trip to share a Behrend update.

I can be contacted by phone at 814-898-6367, by email at rcg12@psu.edu, or by AIM at RebeccaAlumRel.
