At the event, the company will be presented with a token of recognition and appreciation for hiring Harper College alumni. Employees who are alumni of the College will also be presented with a gift from the alumni office and will have an opportunity to learn more about the Harper College alumni program. Following the celebration event, a press release and photos from the event will be sent to the local media. The company celebration will also be featured on the Foundation and alumni website and in print and electronic communications.
