He uses community to keep in touch with college friends

For Matthew Johnston ’03, the fondest memories of his time at Lafayette involve the great friends he made while working for the student newspaper, competing on the fencing team, and living with a “great group of people” on the Haven Floor, which promoted a living environment free of alcohol and drugs.

To help maintain those relationships, he joined Lafayette’s Alumni Online Community.

“It’s a great way to keep in touch with friends and keep up with what’s going on with everyone,” he says. “I would recommend signing up.”

Johnston had big news to report the year he joined the online community, as he posted details of his marriage to Katrina Folwell Johnston ’04 along with a photo of the couple.

An electrical and computing engineering graduate, Johnson is a project engineer at Corning, Inc. in Wilmington, N.C.

“Is College Worth the Cost?”

At Lafayette, the answer is a resounding yes. Payscale.com reports that Lafayette is third among all liberal arts schools in average starting salary (excluding military academies) and sixth in 30-year return on investment.
