Last Friday more than 130 Western New England University alumni and friends gathered at the Country Club of Wilbraham, for the 57th Annual Alumni Golf Tournament—celebrating community and connection, while supporting future Golden Bears. ☀️⛳

Thanks to the incredible generosity of our sponsors and participants, this year's tournament raised more than $25,000 for the Alumni Association Golf Tournament Endowed Scholarship, which supports students who demonstrate academic excellence, leadership, and community involvement. 💛💙

A huge thank-you to everyone who joined us on the course, volunteered, sponsored, and helped make this long-standing tradition another unforgettable success. 🙌

✨ Meet our May : Jamie Reardon✨

Since beginning his career in public service with the Hampshire Sheriff’s Office, Jamie has spent more than 25 years serving the community through the Amherst Police Department in numerous leadership and investigative roles.

Jamie credits WNE for helping him grow personally and professionally through academics, leadership opportunities, and his time as co-captain of the WNE men’s lacrosse team — and for introducing him to his wife, Beth, with whom he shares two children. 👏
