50 Alumni, 50 States
Carl Sandburg College's Alumni Relations would like to reach as many Sandburg alumni members from coast to coast and beyond the United States. We want to discover where our alumni members are living, working and making a difference in their communities. Our goal is to have one alumnus or alumna from each state share their story. However, it doesn't have to stop at one! Help us fill in our map by dropping us a line that identifies where you live and tell us a bit about your path. To participate, please complete our engagement survey. From a state already highlighted? Go ahead and send us your information to be included.
