Colorado Alumni Gathering on July 14
Antioch College Alumni and Friends
You likely don’t know me, but you know my wife, Nancy Crow, very well. Nancy is the President of the Antioch College Alumni Association. As such she is leading the effort to sustain Antioch College for the next 155 years, UNINTERRUPTED, as a leading liberal arts college with a superb tenured faculty.
As you know, things are a-poppin. The University Board of Trustees announced a four-year closing of Antioch College as of July 1, 2008 — to reopen in 2012 as a “21st century campus.” During the College reunion June 21st - 24th (where the expected 200 attendees swelled to about 700) the assembly created the College Revival fund and committed itself to saving Antioch College. “Be ashamed to let it die” is the call to action.
On Sunday, July 15th, from 2:00 PM to 4:00 PM (and likely later) Nancy and I are opening our home at 1031 Marion Street (in the Capitol Hill section of Denver) for a gathering of Antioch College alumni and friends. Alumni Board members will update you on what happened, why it happened and what we are doing about it. There
will be ample opportunity for you to ask questions and provide input. On top of all that, we will all have a good time.
Here is the link to the map to our home:
You can easily get directions from the map site, or feel free to call me at 303.861.1068 for help.
This is one of a series of over 30 meetings across the country (and London and Paris too!) being held to save Antioch College. Please do come, and be sure to encourage all other alumni you know to come here or to watch for similar meetings in their locality.
Focused on the future and working together we can do this - we can save Antioch College. Be ashamed to let it die!
