This Takes the Cake

Who doesn't love a Bronco wedding? More than 40 SCU alumni friends and family recently joined Emely Ibarra ’15 and John Bonnel ’16 to celebrate their nuptials. Don’t forget to share your Bronco meet-cute with us so we can celebrate you on our socials!

Lead On, You Broncos!

Are you passionate about shaping the SCU alumni experience? Join the Alumni Board of Directors! We’re looking for dedicated Broncos to bring fresh ideas and energy to the team. If you or someone you know is ready to make an impact, submit your nomination by Friday, Jan. 24.

A Cut Above the Crest

The Orlando Pride, including Julie Doyle ’21, captured their first NWSL Championship. Along with Julie, 14 Bronco women’s soccer alumnae played in professional leagues this season, including seven on NWSL teams. Sounds like a net positive to us! 

All Eyes on AI

This January, the Alumni Book Club will dive into its next reading period, coinciding with SCU’s 2024-25 Campus Community Read. Join students, faculty, staff, and your fellow alumni in exploring the rapidly evolving landscape of artificial intelligence with “AI: My Mission to Protect What is Human in a World of Machines” by Dr. Joy Buolamwini.

A Return to Tradition

La Virgen del Tepeyac is returning to SCU for its 23rd presentation! This prayerful celebration, not seen on campus since 2018, uses colorful indigenous garments, dance, and song to honor La Virgen, the patron saint of Mexico.

Switched On

Need to sublease an apartment? Hoping to get rid of that exercise bike you bought but haven’t used? Want to start a used-puzzle exchange? Give Switchboard a try! Ask SCU alumni, staff, faculty, students, and parents for what you need or offer what you have to share.
