Alumni Newsletter
March 2009
|
|
Greetings!
March is one of those months filled with so much excitement! There's St. Patrick's Day, college basketball on every channel, and, of course, the welcoming of spring! The best part about spring are the changes; there's the hint of warmer weather coming our way; the grass looks like it will turn green instead of stay that dull yellowish-green color from winter; the trees start to bud; and the campus is full of life! Spring breakers return with only six more weeks until the end of classes, and for some, it's six more weeks before they join the Alumni Association and become a part of our alumni community. March is full of change, and that holds particularly true for our alumni office this year.
It is with mixed emotions that I announce that Jane Hogge, Director of Alumni
Relations and Annual Giving, has accepted a new position as Director of Annual
Giving at Loyola College, her undergraduate alma mater. Jane has had a significant impact on the growth of our alumni and advancement
program. She will be missed as a true professional and loyal colleague.
Sincerely, 
Nina Bonano Assistant Director of Alumni Relations and Annual Giving |

Basketball: Its Origin and Development by James Naismith, presented by

(and soon women) physically active and out of trouble during the long New
England winters. Basketball's popularity spread quickly. Its blend of agility,

all major sports. Naismith's account of game's origins and development provides
numerous insights to surprising and enduring changes.
