SIS Alumni Association Update

We have a full schedule to round off the Fall, including our signature Dinner and Discussion event on November 15th at The Old Ebbitt Grill, where Deputy Director Al Matano from the US Department of State will discuss USG counternarcotics policies in Afghanistan and Pakistan.  Last year’s Spring event was a great success and we encourage you to attend again.  Also, don’t forget the SIS Fall Dinner where we will honor Professor of the Year, Abdul Said for their 50 years of dedication and service to the school.  We will also be renewing our commitment to service by volunteering at the Capital Area Food Bank on December 9th to pack food bundles for this great anti-poverty/anti-hunger organization in DC.  We also wan to make sure you take advantage of the SIS/AA’s monthly Movers and Shakers events to socialize, relax, and reconnect with one another; November’s event will take place on November 20th at a local restaurant. 

Additionally, I want to take this opportunity on behalf of the Alumni Association to thank all of you for your continued support of the SIS family.  Many of you have given of your time, talents and money to ensure that SIS continues to carry the tradition of excellence in international relations.  In the SIS/AA's efforts to thank our alums for their generosity, we have recently added several incentives for chapter members including reduced memberships to international organizations and academic subscriptions as well as discounts at several metropolitan restaurants and establishments. 

We look forward to seeing you at our events this Fall.  Thank you for your continued support of SIS and for keeping the AU SIS Alumni spirit alive!  Please remember to renew your membership and sign up for email alerts to help you stay connected.  Please visit us at our website: http://www.american.edu/sis/alumni/alumnievents.htm.
