2013 Oct 7

Marina Richley of Brook Park, Ohio, is serving as a member of Heidelberg University’s Student Alumni Association this year.

As a member of the Student Alumni Association, Richley, a sophomore majoring in Education, is among a group of 17 students getting a jump start on the responsibilities of becoming Heidelberg alumni. As members of the SAA, the students serve as liaisons between future students, current students, alumni, donors, friends and the Office of Institutional Advancement & University Relations, and promote student philanthropy across campus.

The group, in its fourth full year of operation on Heidelberg’s campus, meets regularly to plan events and fundraisers that bring awareness to current students about becoming philanthropic after graduation. Each graduating class will determine how to utilize their funds. In addition, SAA members participate in alumni networking events and other major events on campus.

Their motto is “Students Today, Alumni Tomorrow.”
