There are certain Carlow moments that stick with you.
Maybe it’s a class discussion you still think about to this day, a mentor who asked the right question at the right time, or a perspective that reshaped how you lead, serve, or show up for other people. Even years later, those moments still feel familiar because they’re part of what it means to be a Celtic alum.
This spring, we’re creating more of those moments with Alumni Hour, a new virtual series designed to bring alumni together for thoughtful conversations, meaningful connections, and a closer look at the people and ideas shaping our community, and the world.
Carlow is in a season of growth, innovation, and renewed energy, and our alumni remain an essential part of that story. Alumni Hour is a way to keep our community connected to that story, and to one another. It’s also a celebration of what the members of Celtic Nation carry forward, and the impact you continue to make in your work, your communities, and your families.
Upcoming Alumni Hour Sessions
Some dates and registration details are still to be determined. For now, here’s a preview of what’s ahead:
February 19: Sabrina Saunders Mosby Interviews John Cardone
Our first Alumni Hour conversation features Carlow alum Sabrina Saunders Mosby in discussion with John Cardone, Carlow’s Vice President of Marketing and Communications. Together, they’ll explore the storytelling, strategy, and momentum behind how Carlow is showing up across the region, and how a mission-driven university builds a footprint in a way that still feels unmistakably Carlow.
March (TBD): National Reading Month: Deon Butler on Dyslexia and Determination
In honor of National Reading Month, former NFL player Deon Butler will share his personal experience navigating dyslexia — and the persistence it took to succeed at the highest levels of competition. He’ll be joined by Val Piccini, director of Carlow’s MEd Reading Specialist program, for a conversation on literacy, learning differences, and the power of the right support at the right time.
April (TBD): Meet the Deans with Dr. Rhonda Maneval
In April, Alumni Hour turns toward Carlow’s academic leadership with a Meet the Deans session featuring Rhonda Maneval, PhD, dean of Carlow’s College of Health and Wellness. This conversation will highlight the direction of Carlow’s programs, student-centered learning, and what’s ahead as the University continues to grow in ways that serve learners and the region.
