From one coast of Florida to the other, over 150 alumni gathered throughout the month to wish Dr. John well on his upcoming retirement. Some of the cities in which there were alumni events were: Jupiter, Naples, New Smyrna Beach, Palm Beach, Sarasota, Tampa, and Tarpon Springs. Not only did the alumni gather for lunch at the Jupiter golf course and dinner at the Sarasota Yacht Club, but they also rooted on the Detroit Tigers on two different occasions.

Old friends laughed about old stories of campus, several alumni offered words of praise to Dr. John for his accomplishments; while others focused on the new journey Kettering is about to take with the new president.

If you would like to be updated on our list of events or would like to host an event, you can contact the Office of Alumni Affairs at 888-884-7741 ext. 9883, or by email to mtriplet@kettering.edu.
