Reunions
Our reunion this past Saturday was a wonderful success, thanks to the efforts of the Advancement Office, especially Frank Castronova, and many volunteers from the different years who formed committees to encourages their classmates to come. Two hundred people RSVP’d, which is more than twice the usual turnout. They enjoyed tailgating at the homecoming football game, tours of campus, and dinner with entertainment.
It is always terrific to see our alumni visit campus, recalling their experiences, marveling at the changes, and renewing acquaintances. It is crucial for us to foster a sense of stakeholding, so that the people whom we have trained continue to feel a meaningful tie to the institution. Like any other relationship, this takes work.
