The sign-in hub at Greeners after Work: Portland on March 31, 2015

Over thirty alumni and friends gathered on Tuesday night at the Lucky Lab Tap Room, on a day that brought hail, rain and sunshine to The City Of Roses. From the classes of 1975 to 2014, a lively crowd gathered on March 31, 2015, for the event Greeners After Work: Portland.

With micro brews, pizza and salad in hand, Greeners shared stories, made connections, and came together for an evening that built excitement for Evergreen and what’s next for the alumni that live and work in the Portland area.

Keri Carkeek ’92, vice chair of The Evergreen State College Foundation’s Board of Governors, shared recent opportunities to read scholarship applications, attend the Art of Living and Return to Evergreen and participate in the presidential search process. I shared information about the Associated Alumni and Friends of Evergreen, too, and how the Association’s members can lend their voices and participate in new ways to support Evergreen. We welcomed ten new members to the Association at the event.
