Alumni Newsletter – August 2022

On August 1, 2022, we officially became Excelsior University!

Supported by sturdy columns, an aspirational arrow forms a roof and two open doors providing a welcoming educational home for students to grow their life stories. Join President Schejbal in embracing our commitment to students and alumni as we celebrate Excelsior’s evolution!
