Muhlenberg College Alumni

Big changes are coming to some of Muhlenberg’s favorite traditions!

THAW moved to March this spring, and Alumni Weekend is joining forces with Family Weekend this fall to launch Red Door Weekend — a new tradition bringing the entire ’Berg community together.

“No one has more Muhlenberg pride than our alumni, our current students, and their families,” says Vice President for Advancement Rebekkah Brown ’99. “By combining these two events, we will be able to celebrate our college in an unprecedented way — as one community, over one weekend, because we are one Muhlenberg.”

Kate Bolger ’10 went from filmmaker to candy shop owner — opening The Village Confectionery in Sleepy Hollow and bringing thousands along for the journey on Instagram.

What started with just 24 followers (mostly Berg alumni!) has grown into a global community rooting her on. Proof that when you follow a feeling, something sweet is bound to happen. ❤️

We love to see our alumni pursuing their passions and following their dreams! Tap the link to read Kate's full story in the latest issue of the Muhlenberg Magazine. https://ow.ly/BZKq50Z8bvx

Did you know? ✈️ Unrestricted gifts can help cover study abroad expenses for students who otherwise would not be able to participate. Every gift helps create life-changing opportunities and supports student success where it matters most.

We’re proud to see Muhlenberg alumni continuing to be celebrated for their achievements and contributions beyond campus.

The Muhlenberg community deeply mourns the passing of Jeff Morris ’82. A proud Mule soccer alumnus and founder of the World Cup Soccer Academy, Jeff’s passion for athletics was unmatched. His incredible generosity transformed our campus, and his legacy will live on forever through Jeff Morris ’82 Field — a testament to a gift that secured the future of Mule athletics for generations to come. We extend our heartfelt condolences to Jeff’s family, friends, teammates, and all who were touched by his vibrant life. ⚽️

Jessica Anselmi '08 knows the power of sports has to bring people together. The former Muhlenberg volleyball player recently launched Crowd Wear Collective, a lifestyle apparel brand inspired by the shared experience of global sporting events.

If the brand reaches 750 purchases in the next few weeks, Jessica has pledged to fund a World Cup experience for a child and chaperone this summer. ⚽️

Change is the only constant. 🌪️ That’s why unrestricted giving is so vital. It’s the "flex" in our budget that lets us pivot, innovate, and say YES to new opportunities for our students. Help us stay nimble as we head toward the June 30 giving deadline! Tap the link to give today. https://ow.ly/YrEi50Z14pY
