2011
recap
Students had the opportunity to meet with alumni in formal and informal settings at a networking day held Friday, September 30, 2011. Alumni participated in panels where they told stories and answered student questions, visited classes, and attended social hours where students could interact with them one-on-one.
“Connecting with UMM students has enriched my life. The memories that flow back to me are priceless. In retirement the role of mentor and adviser suits me. I can call upon 35 plus years of experience in health care delivery, organizational development, and project management and share whatever is of interest to a current or former student. A win-win situation!” —Christopher La Londe ’73 “Having the chance to meet with Morris alumni last September was a motivating and inspiring experience for me. Before this, I was very unsure of what I would do after graduation, but I took the opportunity to talk with an alum from my field of interest, and his insight and encouragement really helped me compose a clearer sense of direction. Finding out later that all the alumni that day had traveled to Morris from across the country proved to me just how much sincere support I had. I recommend all students take part in this opportunity because it can connect you to a whole new direction in life.” —Pahoua Vang ’12 Like the idea of connecting with current Morris students?
