Connect with Wabash in your Area

Just because most of us aren’t in Crawfordsville anymore doesn’t mean that we can’t connect to the Wabash. Across the country, there are more than 40 regional alumni associations where Wabash alums and families can participate.

Here in Indy, the Indianapolis Association of Wabash Men just set up a Web page (http://www.wabash.edu/alumni/ra/indy). It lists up-to-date information on the many events the IAWM puts on each year, lists officers, news, and past honorees.

As a huge Cubs fan, I’m definitely envious of the Wabash Club of Chicago. Last Friday, from the Friendly Confines they got to see my Cubbies come back from an 9-1 deficit. Thrilling late-game homers brought the Cubs back to win 10-9. I only wish Harry Carey were still alive so that I could watch him try to slur his way through rookie outfielder Kosuke Fukudome’s name. (That’s KOH-skay foo-koo-DOUGH-may. Anything else gets you in Dutch with the FCC.) Oh, did I mention the Cubs currently have the best record in baseball? (Yeah, it makes me really nervous, too.)

From golf outings, to recruiting future Wabash students, to this fall’s Wabash Day, the regionals allow far-flung alumni to connect with their alma mater from afar. Find the one in your area here.
