Northwest honors retiring president with 'Quarter Century of Quality' events
In honor of Dean and Aleta Hubbard's 25 years of outstanding leadership at Northwest, a series of celebrations are being planned by the Northwest Foundation and the Northwest Alumni Association.
These invitation-only "Quarter Century of Quality" receptions, prior to Dr. Hubbard's July 2009 retirement, will be in Mesa, Ariz. (Feb. 28), Des Moines, Iowa (March 20), St. Joseph (April 3) and Omaha, Neb. (May 28).
In addition, celebrations open to the public will be held in Kansas City March 5 and on the Northwest campus April 23.
A black-tie gathering for a select group of Dr. and Mrs. Hubbard's family and friends took place in October at Kansas City's Nelson-Atkins Museum of Art in celebration of their distinguished years of service to Northwest.
For more information about any of the upcoming Quarter Century of Quality receptions, contact Lynn Ruhl at lruhl@nwmissouri.edu or (660) 562-0816.
In lieu of retirement gifts, Dr. and Mrs. Hubbard have requested contributions be made to the Aleta and Dean Hubbard Scholarship through the Northwest Foundation.
