Because of the COVID19 situation, all of our in-person alumni events have been postponed.
We hope to plan future events soon. In the meantime, here are some virtual opportunities for you.
Alumni Events

7:00 p.m. to 8:00 p.m. EST
Via Zoom
Alumnus Jack Jenkins will be discussing his newly-released book, “American Prophets: The Religious Roots of Progressive Politics and the Ongoing Fight for the Soul of the Country.” The book has received wide-ranging acclaim. Participants in this event will have read the book and will be ready to hear Jack discuss his book and take questions. Jack encourages you to support your locally-owned bookstores, if possible. Otherwise, the book is available online and in other outlets.
You must register by October 14th in order to participate. A link to the Zoom event will be sent to registrants on the morning of the event.

Alumni, donors, students, faculty and staff, friends of the College, and other constituents, please join this final farewell event for President Bob and Phyllis Staton as they reflect on their tenure at PC. This will be a virtual event through Zoom. You must register in order to participate. The link for the event will be sent to registrants on the morning of the event via email.

Scot Trot 5K
November 9-15, 2020
Anywhere!
The Scotsman Club will be hosting the Inaugural Scot Trot Virtual 5k. Everyone is invited – and encouraged – to participate. The beauty of a virtual 5k is that you get to choose your 5k route! Whether you run your favorite route through your neighborhood, on the beach, or on a mountain trail, you can support our Blue Hose student-athletes! The Scot Trot 5k will take place on November 9 – 15th. Proceeds from the race will support PC student-athletes.
Alumni Serving in Ministry
Wednesday, November 11, 2020
11:00 a.m. EST
Via Zoom
Alumni in ministry are invited to join the Office of Church Relations for a monthly Zoom call. This will be a time of connection and encouragement with other Blue Hose during these unprecedented times. Please register by Monday, November 9, in order to participate. A link to the Zoom call will be sent to registrants on the morning of the event. Contact Perrin Tribble ’11 for more information.
Homecoming
Last week the Big South made the decision to postpone fall sports. As a result, we have canceled our 2020 Homecoming festivities, reunions, and events. We will be honoring virtually our 2020 Alumni Award recipients in October, and will bring them to campus for an in-person celebration in 2021. Watch for those special email announcements and social media posts.
