RSS FeedBlog

We are excited about offering you a more modern way to receive news about your classmates since we have recently moved away from the traditional class agent letters. Class news will be included in the semi-annual Waldorf Magazine, as well as posted on class blogs (right). Class years only appear on this blog site if there is class news to post. You will also have an opportunity to share a special experience or memory about your time spent at Waldorf with other alumni via the General Alumni Association Blog (right). All news will be screened before posting and personal contact information (with the exception of email addresses) will be deleted for privacy reasons. Please send all news for posting to: alumni@waldorf.edu – Class News; heatherlili@msn.com – General Alumni Association News.

Many classes currently have their own website or Facebook page as well and that’s great – we hope they continue! The more ways you can stay connected the better! Your class blog will become yet another way for you to stay in touch with your friends and the Waldorf community.
