When the University of Louisville held its celebration of the 100th anniversary of The Louisville Cardinal on Feb. 27, the possibility of another such event in the fall was mentioned. Someone from UofL’s Alumni & Development office said they’d love to invite more of the paper’s alumni “if only there were some sort of alumni list.”
Ask and you shall receive: several alumni decided on the spot to form The Louisville Cardinal Alumni Group to create such a list and a community of ex-staffers. We’re here, and we’ll gladly consider invitations to attend any future events and help publicize them.
We released The Louisville Cardinal Alumni List a few weeks ago, but that version is chronological and can be a bit difficult to navigate if you’re just looking for an alphabetized list to scroll through quickly. The new and improved list covers the period from 1982-1983 to 1996-97 and also includes information about when someone worked for The Cardinal and what roles they played.
So take a stroll down memory lane and peruse the list. You’re sure to see names you haven’t thought about in years or even decades. We hope there’s no mistakes or omissions, but if find any be sure and let us know. To view the list, go to https://lcag.site/alumni-list
If you’re an alumni and have memories and/or photos of your time at The Cardinal, we want to hear about it! To find out more, go to:
