Cedar Crest College Alumnae/i

On Tuesday, June 16, Cedar Crest College celebrated the groundbreaking ceremony for the Elaine & John Harmon Center for Leadership in Technology. 🎉

This milestone marks the beginning of a transformation that will provide students with opportunities to develop the technological knowledge and leadership abilities needed to make an impact in a rapidly changing world.

In addition to serving students, the center will connect local businesses and organizations with opportunities to strengthen technology strategies, support workforce development, and collaborate with the Cedar Crest community. 🫂

We look forward to the impact the Elaine & John Harmon Center for Leadership in Technology will have on our students, partners, and the future of the region. 💛

Hello, CCC Alums! 👋 We're SO excited to welcome you back to campus for a weekend full of fun, connection, and celebration!

While the forecast on Friday is calling for rain here in Allentown, we won't let that dampen our spirits - or our plans! We're pivoting indoors and bringing the Friday Night Fair & Karaoke Night to Lees Hall & Gym. 🚨

You'll still enjoy all your Reunion favorites, including food trucks, karaoke, giant trikes, and games - just under one roof! And never fear - our Mobile Petting Zoo will still be bringing the love under a canopy behind Lees Hall. ❤️

If you have any questions about the change, please feel free to reach out to us. We can't wait to celebrate - and stay dry - with you all weekend long!
