Dear University of Rochester Alumni, 

 

A large part of alumni relations work is providing and encouraging opportunities for alumni to engage with the University, each other, and with students.

 

This newsletter is one way to support your connection with the University.  By sharing updates and content about current programs on campus, it is our hope that you feel a sense of pride in your alma mater.

 

The Office of Alumni Relations also hosts a LinkedIn Group

for alumni from all academic units at the University to help you find, network, and collaborate with other Rochester graduates. So, please get "linked in" and share your views. We are looking forward to hearing from you!

 

Please keep a look out for emails in the months to come. If you have feedback or suggestions, please send me an email at: [email protected]

 

Meliora,
