New Director of Alumni Relations

Becki Jewett, the new director of alumni relations at Greenville College, said she is “excited” about the job and what she can bring to it.

In her position, she is responsible for directing alumni and church relations. She will also coordinate reunions, homecoming, and minister’s conferences.

“I’m trying to keep alumni in touch,” said Jewett. “I’m excited about it.”

Jewett attended GC in the early 1970s, but took some time off to raise a family. She completed the GC GOAL program in May 2001, earning a degree in organizational leadership. Her two sons are both GC alumni, Eric (’98) and Chad (’01), and her husband Dan owns and operates Jewett Roofing in Greenville.

From 1976-79, Jewett worked in the college’s business office. She returned in 1994 to the student development office. Since then, she has been secretary to the vice president for student development, assistant registrar in the records office, and executive assistant to the vice president for academic affairs.

She took over as alumni relations director on Jan. 1, replacing Kent Krober, who decided to become a high school teacher in East St. Louis, Ill.

In addition to organizing on-campus events like Homecoming, the summer Alumni Reunion, the Ivy Cutting Luncheon and minister’s conferences, Jewett is also in charge of regional events throughout the United States, such as the annual ski trip.

She said she has some new ideas for the alumni office as well, including more involvement with GOAL alumni, and a stronger role for the Alumni Board.
