Last Thursday, May 14, the Lyon College Alumni Council and Office of Advancement & Alumni Relations hosted the Senior Family Picnic, welcoming the Class of 2026 as the newest group of alumni.

The evening offered the graduates and their families a relaxed way to interact with faculty and staff amidst the excitement of commencement week. We look forward to watching their continued growth and success in the real world, as well as their engagement as alumni!

Scots - we are so grateful for all of the gifts you contributed to this year's challenge! THANK YOU for showing up and showing out!

Supporters of Lyon College contributed $166,857.15 during the annual Robert Young Challenge, generating nearly $300,000 in total impact when combined with matching funds for student scholarships and college programs.

The fundraising event matched donor contributions through a gift from Dr. Robert Young III, former member and chair of the Lyon College Board of Trustees from 1987 to 1995, who pledged up to $130,000 in matching funds.

The annual challenge has become one of the College’s signature fundraising events, bringing together alumni, parents, faculty, staff, students, and friends of the College to invest in Lyon College and its students.

‼📣 BATESVILLE AREA ALUMNI - Join us downtown on Thursday, May 21 for the third show of the 2026 Levitt AMP concert series!

That night's musical guest is Nashville recording artist Colleen Orender*, with local legend Gary Rounds slated as the opening act. We will begin congregating in front of Polk & Paddle (a GREAT place to eat beforehand 😉) a little before 6PM, so meet us there with your Lyon shirt and a lawn chair as we settle in for a couple of hours of good music! (Please RSVP to [email protected] if you plan to join us, just so we can have a rough headcount).

*Orender's music has been praised by NPR as "a sultry blues dream with pop sensibilities and a touch of James Bond." Drawing comparisons to Adele and Amy Winehouse, and having opened for the likes of Rick Springfield, Wilson Philips, and Wynonna Judd, Orender's unique voice and eclectic musical style is known to appeal to a wide array of music fans.
