Alumni Connections:
LAS Social Science, September 2010 |
|
Dear ,
Fall has arrived at UCCS, and with it, much is changing on campus.
As you may know, we recently dedicated our renovated Science Building (now known as Centennial Hall). Next week, we'll officially open Clyde's, a new pub in the University Center. With enrollment at an all-time high, you can literally see the campus landscape and culture shifting everywhere you look.
As you know, there is also much happening in the College of Letters, Arts & Sciences - so much, in fact, that we're now dividing the alumni e-newsletter for the College into three divisions: humanities, natural science and social science. We hope that this further-refined e-newsletter will continue to help you find ways to connect with the departments and programs that mean the most to you.
We're also excited about several upcoming programs in alumni relations: the launch of our UCCS license plate program and many upcoming events designed to help you reconnect with your alma mater. As always, you can also connect with us on Facebook and LinkedIn to stay up-to-date on the latest campus news.
As you read this month's newsletter, consider story ideas that you'd like to share with us. If there is a program you'd like to learn more about or an idea you'd like to share to get your fellow alumni more engaged, let us know - we want to hear from you.
Thank you again for your continued support of the College of Letters, Arts & Sciences at UCCS.

Prepare for Campus First Responders |
|
 However distant our undergraduate years have become in our minds since our own graduation, sometimes it's necessary to remember that significant things did, can, and do happen during an undergraduate career. Generally speaking, many of life's guiding principles and passions arise from these pivotal and formidable years. (More) |
