Honoring Knox Alumni
This weekend was Homecoming weekend for Knox College and there was a number of activities for students, families and alumni to participate in.

One event was Knox's Convocation where students new and old packed the Kresge Recital Hall Saturday morning to see who received this years Knox Service Award.

One of the recipients was alum James Farver who was honored for his time and effort in funding an endowed chair in the name of Professor of Mathematics Rockwell C. Stevens.

Farver told the crowed working to give back to Knox is something every student new and old is responsible for.

He says Knox gives students the tools to be successful and supporting alumni efforts is a great way to say thank you.

"Today I stand before you more than just a proud alum. I am also a passionate and committed alum who will do everything I can to help Knox secure it's future. As Alumni I believe this is a responsibility we all share."

Farver pointed out students don't have to wait until graduation to get involved alumni relations are always looking for people to make phone calls and reach out to Knox's alumni pool.
