Aurora

I care not, Fortune, what you me deny:
You cannot rob me of free Nature’s grace,
You cannot shut the windows of the sky
Through which Aurora shows her brightening face;

– James Thomson, The Castle of Indolence

Aurora is the Greek goddess of dawn. Every generation of Roosevelt Academy graduates is like the dawn of day, taking off to shine brightly in the world. The Roosevelt Academy alumni foundation Aurora serves as a lifelong link between RA and its alumni community.

Aurora works hard to organize activities for alumni, helps you to stay in touch with our Middelburg university college and provides opportunities for social interaction, networking and services of all kinds. The mission of Aurora is to promote contacts and relationships between alumni, Aurora, Roosevelt Academy and the Roosevelt Academy Student Association, providing service and support to, and serving as an advocate for Roosevelt Academy and its alumni.

Every quarter of a year, an e-newsletter, RAdar, provides all alumni with updated information on, for instance, alumni events, Roosevelt Academy news and profiles of students, faculty and courses:

• RAdar, Issue #1
• RAdar, Issue #4
• RAdar, Issue #5
• RAdar, Issue #6
• RAdar, Issue #7
• RAdar, Issue #8

Naturally, the work we do requires financial support. As a young foundation, Aurora wants to secure funding from many areas, including an annual fee from the alumni. Please contact us by e-mail () to request a donation form. We value your support.
By sharing knowledge, ideas and talents, RA alumni can build an impressive worldwide network that is both vital and valuable.
