RHS is Coming to a City Near You!
See below for dates for President David Laughlin and/or members of the Philanthropy & Engagement Department to visit cities in the 2026-27 fiscal year. In the 2025-26 year, there were 14 events across the country.
If you see your city on the list, please let us know if you'd be willing to host or co-host a gathering of alumni at your home or place of business (or suggest a local favorite that we might reach out to as an event space). Similarly, let us know if you'd be willing to be an on-the-ground contact to encourage alumni attendance, including assisting us with making sure we have up-to-date contact information for your fellow alumni in your area.
And if you don't see your city on the list, but would love to see it on a revised or near-future list, please reach out to Mark Blanck '98, Vice President of Philanthropy & Engagement, at 816.363.2036 x553 or mblanck@rockhursths.edu.
