Time, Talent, Treasure

McKendree University and its Alumni Association offer a variety of ways to reconnect, serve and give back. These alumni have made—and continue to make—a lasting impact on the lives of our students and graduates.

 

 

Bobby Schweiger
Time: Bobbie Schweiger ’11, MBA ’13


Since joining the ranks of alumni, Bobbie Schweiger has worked to make a positive impact on future generations of McKendree students. She has returned to campus to volunteer to recruit students during scholarship days, congratulate graduates at commencement and welcome alumni during homecoming weekend. Bobbie has also served as a member of the Alumni Association Board of Directors. In addition to volunteering her time, Bobbie has made gifts to support many areas of the University with the goal of making a difference in the lives of McKendree students.

Treasure: Dennis and Iris Price ’73


Dennis Price ’73 and Iris (Jahn) Price ’73 met as students at McKendree. Not long after graduating, they made a financial gift to McKendree.

While serving as a pastor in the United Methodist Church, Dennis grew to understand the importance recurring support can have on an organization. The Prices began making their gifts through the University’s monthly giving program more than 20 years ago. Their support of the current Annual Fund has spanned many decades offering support to students who call McKendree “home.”
