Recent Graduates

Congratulations to the Class of 2009!

Today you become part of the Roosevelt alumni family that includes over 70,000 graduates around the world.

This is a transformational moment. You entered this University as college students and will leave this afternoon as alumni. Over your lifetime, many people will ask where you went to school. I know you will answer with pride that you graduated from Roosevelt University.

Just like those who graduated before you, I am certain that you will accomplish incredible things and that collectively the class of 2009 will make an important impact on the world.

Whatever path life holds for you, we hope you will continue to look to Roosevelt as a resource and a home, and that as alumni you stay connected and involved.  Together, we have an obligation and the opportunity to make sure future students have the same incredible Roosevelt experience you have had.

As President of the Roosevelt University Alumni Association, of which you are all now members, I salute you and the Class of 2009.

-- Michi Peña (MBA, '78)

President, Roosevelt University Alumni Association
