Alumni by the numbers

Spring’s commencement ceremony saw our 25,000th graduate walk the stage and receive a diploma. Director of Development Shane Kohl ran the numbers to find out the age ranges of our alumni. He notes, “It’s somewhat frightening to think one-fifth of our alums were born during or after the Carter administration. On the flip side, four of our alums had a chance to cast their first vote for FDR… or Wendell Wilke, Alf Landon or Herbert Hoover.”
