Alumni

WOOD-TV, Grand Rapids

Peggy Sindt wants every Albion student to have a chance to develop their potential through experiential learning—the way she and her husband, Conrad, did during their time at Albion.

The nearly 60-person gathering earlier this fall included the dedication of a memorial bench at the Davis Athletic Complex.

From its origins as the Briton Rhythm Squad in the mid-1990s to today, alums and current members of the student organization line up for a reunion at Homecoming.

The retired Detroit-area psychologist and educator will join fellow 2021 and 2020 Alumni Award recipients October 23 during Homecoming.

It’s one of those “who would have thought?” encounters: Brandon Fisher, ’21 (left), and Tom Jurasek, ’08, first worked together in Albion’s Harrington Elementary School Mentoring program, when Jurasek was a volunteer from the Albion College men’s basketball team and Fisher was in second grade. That relationship didn’t last (Fisher only vaguely remembers it), but nonetheless come June the two will work together again, as Fisher joins Jurasek and five other Albion alumni on the team at Jackson-based accounting firm Willis & Jurasek.

Lauren Bergeron, ’21, was one of just 60 students nationwide chosen to participate in the Council on Undergraduate Research’s “Posters on the Hill,” an event designed to showcase current student research for federal lawmakers and other government officials. Bergeron was further invited to the inaugural Johns Hopkins University Richard Macksey National Undergraduate Humanities Research Symposium, a mega-event involving more than 500 students. While the COVID-19 pandemic forced the cancellation of both April events, she can take solace knowing that Albion is represented among the country’s top student research programs.

Concern generated by the spread of the coronavirus and COVID-19 led to Albion College’s decision late last week to postpone the annual Alumni Awards Ceremony, originally scheduled for April 17, will be postponed to April 16, 2021.
