Red Sox Game

The Red Sox Bus Trip on June 29 was a perfect way to kick off our summer events! We had a great time cheering on the Red Sox and even though they didn't win we sure did. Thank you to everyone who came!

Escape to the Cape Luncheon

We had such a great time at our annual Cape Cod Alumni Luncheon at the Popponesset Inn! It was a beautiful day to catch up with old friends, share memories, and celebrate everything that makes the Elms community so special. We were thrilled to welcome alumni from across the decades, with class years ranging from 1964 all the way to 2023 as well as four undergraduates and staff from the Center for Equity Urban Education. 

One of the highlights of the afternoon was hearing from Dr. Dumay who shared exciting updates about the college’s recent accomplishments and the bright future ahead. His words reminded us all of the strength and impact of the Elms community, both on campus and beyond. A big thank-you to everyone who joined us, your enthusiasm, stories, and smiles made the day unforgettable.

Sweet Summer Social

On August 20, we were truly grateful to gather with so many at the Alumni Summer Social. The laughter, memories, and happiness made the event even better, given the rainy weather. Thank you to everyone who joined us to wrap up the summer on such a high note!
