The Alumni Association now offers an easy and convenient way to read and submit class notes and milestones online to share with former classmates. Online class notes supplement alumni news in the Winthrop Magazine and offer a more convenient way to submit updates and can include recent photos to enhance your alumni news. Submissions may be included in future editions of the Winthrop Update or Winthrop Magazine.
