The Office of Alumnae Relations and Institutional Advancement held Welcome Events in the fall of 2024 to introduce President Sapp to alumnae and friends of the College.聽

The events held in Charlotte, Raleigh, Pinehurst, Wrightsville Beach, New York City, and Winston-Salem allowed President Sapp to meet numerous alumnae and speak to this important group who support the College in many ways. Her focus in each speech was to introduce herself and provide a College update.聽聽

A number of the Welcome Events were hosted by alumnae. The Charlotte event was hosted by former Board of Trustee member Billy Maddalon. Elizabeth Beam, 始72, hosted the Triangle area event. Jo Smith Cooper, 始67, and Alma Ammons Hoffman, 始89, M.Ed., hosted the Pinehurst area event. The Wilmington area event was hosted by Deborah Stanley McNeill, 始71, Brenda Hughes, 始70, and Ann Lowery, 始74. A highlight of the evening was a special painting by Janet Sessoms, 始69, that was given to President Sapp on behalf of eastern NC alumnae. The last welcome event of the fall was in Winston-Salem and was hosted by Susan Fogleman Gordon, 始80, and Molly Ferrell Twine, 始80.聽
