ALUMNI ADVISORY BOARD LEGACY Scholarship Recipient Spotlight
MADELINE KINDLE
Sedalia, Missouri
Dear Alumni & Friends,
The Alumni Legacy Scholarship is a $500 competitive scholarship awarded to children or grandchildren of Missouri Valley College degreed alumni. Recipients are selected each year by the Awards and Recognition Committee of the Board of Directors of the Alumni Association. The 2019 Legacy Scholarship receipent was Madeline Kindle of Sedalia, MO. Madeline’s legacy is her father, Thomas Kindle, a 1992 graduate of Missouri Valley College .
As I am well into my second year as MVC alumni director, I have come to better understand the loyalty that so many have for this wonderful college. The stories you tell, the acts of support I see, and the love I feel, all play out like a movie. A love story that tells of hard work and perseverance, and of honor that only comes to those that are Vikings. In the midst of the anxiety and confusion triggered by the coronavirus pandemic, hope and heroes abound. I am anxious for the time to be right for us all to gather again to celebrate. To honor those that have been extraordinary. To cheer for those on the field of competition. To toast one another and mark the milestone anniversaries that come so quickly. And above all, to appreciate each other and all we have in Viking Nation!
THOMAS KINDLE '92 #67
Why did you decide to attend Missouri Valley College? “I decided to attend MVC because it has the program (nursing) I wanted to enroll in and it is close to home. I chose the nursing program because I not only want to better myself through education, but also better the world around me. I want to use myself as a vessel that brings good into the world whether it is simply giving a grieving family member a hug or saving someone’s life.”
I continue to be grateful for the incredible people I meet that are alumni and friends of MVC. Please reach out to me with questions and conversation that will help us all to move Valley forward. In anticipation of better days that will come, and wishing you and your family a fun and safe summer.
VALLEY WILL ROLL,
