January 2006

As we head into 2006, some great momentum is already building. Our Alumni Board will meet next month, and our representatives will also attend the Board of Trustees meetings in February as we participate in governance review and reform.

If you've been thinking of getting involved, now's a great time. Admissions is looking for alumni volunteers, and you could be just who they're looking for. Contact Rebecca Brown for more info.

Also, AU may coming to a city near you soon. Interim President Kerwin will be visiting alumni around the country this year. He's in California this week, and he'll be in NYC on March 2; in several Florida cities March 13-17; and in Chicago March 30. Come out and mingle with other alumni and meet Dr. Kerwin.

Have a happy healthy 2006, and let's make it our best year yet.

Cheers,
Carey Earle, SOC/BA '88
