Alumni Spotlight: Julie Eickhoff
Julie Eickhoff has remained connected and involved in Morningside College even after graduation. She serves on the National Alumni Board as the Chapter Liaison and on the College Board of Directors.
“I Love this place!” said Julie. “Its exciting being on campus and seeing all the growth and change.”
The Morningside College Chapter Program is an extension of the National Alumni Board. Alumni Board members work with the Alumni Office to develop chapters in selected cities across the country and help coordinate events for alumni to attend. The goal of the Chapter Program is to establish and maintain a closer connection between the college and its alumni.
“We work to keep alumni informed about news and progress as Morningside College and give alumni opportunities to interact with one another in their particular region. As the Chapter Liaison,” said Julie, “I help coordinate functions between the board and Shiran Nathaniel, the Chapter Adviser.”
Julie has watched the campus change and grow throughout her continued involvement with campus.
“The campus has never looked better with the beautiful green spaces and gorgeous new buildings. But I think,” said Julie, “the biggest change is the genuine enthusiasm I feel from everyone on campus . . . the administration, faculty, staff, and students. Present Reynders is a remarkable leader and through his vision he has transformed the college into a place that everyone – past, present, and future – can be proud of.”
“I’m thankful I had the opportunity to go to Morningside College,” said Julie “and I’m proud of the institution that it has become.
