“A few staff have contacted me in person or via Facebook to express interest in buying Camp Fire goodies and supporting my kids and their Salem troop. Thank you! P.S. I still have Camper Mix and lots of Almond Caramel Clusters available — hit me up! :-)”

“We'll see; don't want to count my chickens before they hatch.  But thanks for now.”

“Multiple law students that have successfully graduated and passed the bar have lived at this address. ”

“Sold my item in less than half an hour!  Absolutely love how the item was purchased by a Willamette alum and friend of my new coworker.  Posting on Switchboard was effortless.”

“I found a Willamette student to help me through the switchboard post. Thank you!”

“The bicycle sold on Craigslist rather than Switchboard.  Always nice to have multiple places to post!”

“A guardian Angel answered our call on that very morning and delivered my daughter to campus...with a smoothie waiting for her no less. She was an alum making me fall that much more in love with Willamette. And wouldn't take a penny. Her character, values and kindness won't be forgotten. Hope to pay it forward. Grateful mom.”

“Was so happy to see my piano go to the good home of a fellow Bearcat Alum.  :)”

“Mattress was picked up within days of the offer.  Thank you!”

“People were hired! We're still hiring though!!”

“Willamette student with outstanding recs applied and was hired for this position.  ”

“Thank you, Prof. Ann M. Nicgorski, for connecting me with your husband for his stamp-collecting expertise!”

“Bryn Berglund reports that Madison Montemayor secured an internship with CBS Local Media. What a fantastic Bearcat connection!”

“Brooke, president of the NYC alumni group, messaged me almost immediately! She not only connected me to a great housing opportunity but also connected me to other alumni in the area. It was a pleasure to meet her in person less than a week later. I couldn't be happier to be a Bearcat! ”

“I'm looking for career advice now that school is over and the real world looms; it's so encouraging and helpful to have alums pitch in with ideas or contacts!”
