Advancement
The Lyon College Advancement team is committed to creating lasting opportunities to connect the passions of our alumni and friends with the mission and vision of Lyon College.
We are a link between you and Lyon College, its students, staff, and faculty.
We are here to help alumni, parents and friends of the college who:
- want to know more about Lyon
- seek opportunities to serve and to help "advance" the cause of Lyon, and
- support the mission of Lyon College through their financial support.
Lyon belongs to us all—together we invest in the most powerful resource we have: our young people. And, we are stronger when we partner together to enrich and expand the highly personalized education that students experience at Lyon.
