NOTEFROMACTIVEALUMNIRELATIONSCHAIR

Happy Spring Brothers!

My name is Brother Connor Grossnickle (Wis '19), I am the alumni relations chair here at the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Over the last 4 years, we have grown at an exponential rate. From the 25-person chapter many of you may have seen before covid hit, to more than a 50-person chapter today. This chapter's growth involved the joint effort of actives and our local alumni board. We have developed a passionate group enthralled with community service, brotherhood, and philanthropy. One thing we are looking to do now is reconnect with our roots. After some years where we've kept to ourselves and the campus.

The chapter is looking to do a few things to kick off this alumni engagement, and we would love for you all to be a part of them.

The first and most immediate thing is that we have a discord server (online communication platform)! This is our main form of informal communication and is linked here: https://discord.gg/R8hMV2pJze.

Second, the chapter is forming a committee titled: Operation Composites. We will be reaching out to every brother we can find via our composites and will be maintaining a photo gallery of all the composites and additional photos spread throughout the house on our website or a future dropbox (to be decided later). If you have any photos, stories, or composites you would like to donate, please reach out to myself (cgrossnickle@wisc edu) or Owen Petrich (our current Vice President of External Operations) (Opetrich@wisc.edu).

Brother Jake is a representative for the engineering students inside of the Associated Students of Madison Organization. Jake has been working closely with one of the Deans of the College of Engineering to make sure the new tuition raises at the school are going towards updating our facilities and continue to follow the plan that the dean presented to all of the Student Organizations here on campus. We hope that Jake can continue to make a huge impact here on campus as we get more involved with the College of Engineering
