On very short notice, a group of 11 alumni met on 6/28/07 in Portland. Alumni graduating from the 70’s, 80’s and 90’s were in attendance. The group expressed disbelief over the closing announcement and frustration at the lack of alumni ultilization to keep the college afloat. Alumni discussed ways to prevent the college from closing and how Portland Alumni could support an autonomous Antioch College. Ideas to help increase enrollment and retention were also discussed. A core group of alumni are planning a fundraising event for later this month.
