Hello fellow Alums! I am looking forward to serving GWU’s alumni community as president of the Alumni Association Board for 2011-12, and I am excited to give you all a sneak peak of some of the upcoming opportunities for you to stay connected to your Alma Mater. We have begun a new Alumni/Student Mentorship program. As a mentor you assist current GWU students in networking and career building. Other alumni/student connections include job shadowing and internships. Find out more about this by calling (704) 406-3862. We are also reviving our Association Chapters. Newly established chapters like Atlanta, Ga., Morganton and Raleigh, N.C., have enjoyed numerous reunions with great turnouts. New chapters are being formed in Charlotte, N.C., and in Cleveland/Rutherford counties, and more are on the horizon. Finally, mark your calendars for Homecoming, October 28-29. We want to hear from you. Please let us know how we can serve you better and keep you connected to GWU. You may call the alumni office at (704) 406-3862, or contact the Assistant Director of Alumni Affairs, Meghan Dalton, at mdalton@gardner-webb.edu. Yours truly, Elizabeth Pack epack@gardner-webb.edu
