Admit it; you’re curious to hear the latest gossip and see who (still) looks great. Your chance to find out is fast approaching, so register already!
Alumni & Family Weekend is next weekend, Oct. 23-25, and this year promises to be one of the best ever...if you come.
Top 10 Reasons to Register Today for Alumni Weekend ’09:
10. 50+ events are planned – across campus and at some of your favorite local haunts.
9. Networking, networking, networking.
8. Your fellow alum, President Kerwin, always has interesting news to share.
7. Those milestone reunions only come every five years. If you’re gulping that you’ve been out of college for (cough cough) years, you should join your reunion class to commiserate and remember in good company.
6. You can tell all your friends you met Miss D.C. 2009 – yep, she’s an AU alum – because she’ll be performing on Saturday night.
5. Free classes with rock star faculty.
4. A Hollywood producer, former Senator and Inspector General, and the founder of a D.C. school that’s going to be featured next month on Extreme Makeover: Home Edition, will join the ranks of some of our most impressive alumni when they receive this year’s Alumni Awards.
3. Who doesn’t want a new AU sweatshirt, hat, or T-shirt?
2. Facebook, Twitter, inCircle, and LinkedIn are truly great, but reading or writing “LOL” is just no substitute for laughing your butt off with your friends in person.
1. It’s a perfect excuse to spend a beautiful fall weekend on campus!
See you soon,
Brian
P.S. Thanks to everyone who nominated candidates for the Alumni Board. We had an overwhelming response, and our Nominations Committee is now carefully reviewing every nomination. Once the full Alumni Board has voted on the new members, I’ll report back.
