ALUMNI NEWS
Class Notes UNDER CONSTRUCTION
Your secret is safe with us. We know that if you’re like most alumni, the first place you go when you receive your new and completely redesigned alumni magazine, is straight for the Class Notes. Well, revamping this publication went hand-in-hand with developing a better way to help you do just that. For this issue, we are “under construction”; however, we’ll be back in business this fall, filling these pages with your stories, your news, and all the updates you’ve been yearning for. Don’t be shy — let your fellow alumni know what you’ve been up to!
