Dear University of Rochester Alumni,

karla hatley

 

 As this year comes to a close, I want to inform you of my departure from the University of Rochester. This bitter-sweet announcement comes after careful consideration of both my professional and personal aspirations.

 

 My time at the University has been awesome. I will cherish my connections and interactions with you all.  

I have learned so much and greatly appreciate all of your insight, guidance, partnerships and on-going support.

 

 Please know the Office of Alumni Relations remains dedicated to fostering lifelong relationships with each of you. We encourage you to find meaningful ways to stay connected to Rochester, through opportunities such as:

 

- Events and programming

- Reunion, Career Center, and Admissions volunteer opportunities that connect you with the past, present, and future of the University. 

- Continue to read this quarterly e-newsletter.

 

 It is through a strong and engaged network of alumni, students, parents, and friends that the University of Rochester continues to improve its presence in the various locations.

 

 On behalf of the Office of Alumni Relations, I wish you and yours a happy holiday season.

 

Meliora,

 

Karla Hatley

Associate Director of Affinity and Multicultural Engagement
