Richard Ries, ’57: A Half Century Later, St. Edward's Remains Close to the Heart
 When he attended the Alumni Leadership Conference this past June, Richard Ries, ’57, was amazed not only by how much St. Edward's University had changed but also by how familiar it still seemed. Ries, who has lived in Alexandria, Va., with his wife for 36 years, has become increasingly involved with St. Edward's since a new chapter was created for the Washington, D.C., metro region. Today, he serves on the St. Edward's University Alumni Association Board, is an admission volunteer and has been busy planning his upcoming 50th Reunion. Learn more about how he benefits from staying so involved.
MAHS Grads Launch Alumni Chapter
 Founding member and President Heather Alpard, ’02, MAHS ’06, said she was inspired to start the new alumni chapter for graduates of the Master in Arts of Human Services (MAHS) program after reading about the St. Edward's University MBA Chapter in Directions magazine. It didn't take her long to find interested alumni. Read more about the successful kick-off event and the chapter's future plans.
