MACOMB, IL — One of the sure signs that the holidays are around the corner is when the 91´«Ã½ Alumni Council releases its annual tree ornament.

We join our 140,000 fellow alumni in enthusiasm for another opportunity to showcase what our great university has to offer," Alumni Council President Molly Holmes '01 '04 said. “Last year's Sherman Hall ornament helped commemorate 91´«Ã½'s 125th anniversary; this year, we look ahead to 91´«Ã½'s promising future in this newest campus addition."
