Extracurricular Activities at Sem - Wyoming Seminary

Wyoming Seminary Journal Fall 2010
News from the Alumni Director
“What does Wyoming Seminary
Owe You?”
That question was asked at an alumni focus
group in Philadelphia a few years ago. After a few
uncomfortable minutes of silence, a young alumnus
spoke up, “All Sem needs to do for me is maintain its
great reputation, so when I say I went to Sem, I can be
proud.”
As someone who has many affiliations with Sem –
alumna, daughter of an alumnus, sister of alumni,
employee, and perhaps most importantly, mother of one
student and one alum – I have experienced the school on
many levels and over the course of many years. To our
friend in Philadelphia, I say this: “You needn’t worry.
Our school is as great as it ever was!”
Sem’s programs – academics, athletics, the arts and
of course the multitude of clubs and activities – are
impressive. Log onto our Web site and get a glimpse of
all that is going on at Sem. I recommend that you click
on “Sem Video: Get to Know Us!” as well as check the
news, sports and other pages regularly.
But more than anything else, I urge you to come back
and see for yourself why you can be proud of your
alma mater. Take time at reunions to see the students
in action. You are always welcome to sit in on a class,
watch a play practice or simply hang out on campus and
observe the Sem of today.
I promise you, you won’t be disappointed.
