Dear Alumni and Friends,

Once again I bring you greetings from the Alumni Relations office. Throughout this issue of the Chieftain, we have seen the many contributions and success stories of our alumni “through the years.” We can be proud of the achievements of these individuals and the contributions of all our alumni who achieve extraordinary things on a day to day basis.

As we recognize those contributions, one of the challenges we face is staying connected with our alumni base throughout Texas and the rest of the country. To address this challenge I am excited to announce a new initiative of the McMurry Alumni Association. This past August, the McMurry Alumni Association Board of Directors approved a plan to begin the process of establishing McMurry Alumni chapters and clubs in certain geographical areas. Eventually, we will establish these chapters in areas where there is a significant concentration of McMurry alumni, with a long-term goal of establishing a national McMurry Alumni Association.

Local alumni chapters are beneficial because they extend the reach of the university and bring McMurry to your local community. With an organized and structured alumni chapter program, McMurry can improve services and benefits to our alumni through diverse and well-rounded programming. Connecting with fellow alumni in your area will strengthen loyalty and commitment to McMurry. Local alumni chapters also provide an opportunity to reach out and tell the McMurry story to prospective students and other constituents. While this is an exciting initiative, it will take volunteer support and involvement. In the coming weeks and months we will be contacting alumni to help us with this exciting program. If you would be willing to help with a local chapter in your area, please contact our office.

our alma mater! Ala Cumba! As always, thanks for your continued support of

Greeley Myers, `93 Director of Alumni Relations
