This year, we invite you to choose something different. In this presentation, you will explore how, as a busy leader, you can maximize your well-being through the festivities and arrive at the New Year ready to rock, personally and professionally!

ALUMNI
REMINDER: ALUMNI DUES
We want to do our best to help you stay connected to fellow alumni. If you would like to continue your Centurions Alumni Association membership, please use this link to pay the $75 alumni dues. On the form, include the code “AD-2021” when it requests an invoice number, and include your first and last name in the notes section so we can pair each payment to the appropriate alumnus. All Spring 2021 graduates were invoiced in June for the 2021-2022 Alumni dues. If you are unsure if you have paid, please let Katherine know.
Please Remember that 100% of alumni dues go toward alumni programming, existing scholarships for active Centurions, and beginning this fall, a new DEI Legacy scholarship opportunity. The Centurions Alumni Association is committed to enhancing diversity, equity, and inclusion in the Centurions program. As a first step in this effort the Centurions Alumni Board has created the DEI Legacy Scholarship. This Scholarship covers the full cost of tuition and trip fees for one professional from a traditionally underrepresented group who is working to create equity within Kansas City. We hope to fund one scholarship per cohort on an ongoing basis. To help us toward this goal, Alumni dues have increased to $75.
If you require a copy of your invoice for your alumni dues, please contact Katherine Gathje.
