Alumni Connections: Hear the Roar
October 2009 |
 Dear ,
Thanks to those of you who have been able to join us for special events over the past few months. We've met several of you at local restaurants through Roar on the Road, and we've still got stops in Denver and Colorado Springs before the end of the year. If you haven't stopped by to share your feedback, make sure to sign up today.
In addition, over 120 of you signed up to attend last weekend's kick-off lecture in the Alumni Advancement Series, "Your Career: Creative Strategies to Get Ahead." Although we had to cancel the tour portion of the event due to adverse weather conditions, we will select a new tour date and keep you posted as more information becomes available.
Thank you again for your feedback and involvement with your alma mater. We're glad you're with us as we continue to grow.
